This is a rant, nothing more, nothing less.
Installed 64 bit vista last night as I wanted to take advantage of the full 4GB of memory.
Install went like a dream, no hassles at all. Then I went to look for my disks. Two of them are dynamic and guess what, Home premium cant see them. Now, I could just convert them to basic, job done, but they're my main data storage and back up disks and I've spent a good bit of last week clearing the dross out and getting it just the way I want it.
Now I'm going to have to reinstall XP, get a couple of new disks to back these up, reinstall vista. What moron came up with the idea of not supporting dynamic disks in Home editions when it was fairly obvious that XP Pro users might transfer. :bang::bang:
