Taken from a help file under Microsoft Management Console - Foreign Disk
Status:
The Foreign status occurs when you move a dynamic disk to the local computer
from another computer running Windows 2000, or Windows XP Professional. The
Foreign status can also occur on computers running Windows XP Home Edition
that are configured to dual-boot with another operating system that uses
dynamic disks (such as Windows 2000 Professional). Dynamic disks are not
supported on Windows XP Home Edition or on portable computers. A warning
icon appears on disks that display the Foreign status.
To access data on the disk, you must add the disk to your computer's system
configuration. To add a disk to your computer's system configuration, import
the foreign disk (right-click the disk and then click Import Foreign Disks).
Any existing volumes on the foreign disk become visible and accessible when
you import the disk.
In Windows XP Home Edition you cannot access data on the disk, but you can
convert the disk to a basic disk so that you can use the disk. Converting a
dynamic disk to a basic disk destroys all data on the disk.
