Are you running Windows Vista Enterprise or Vista Ultimate? They're the only os's that support dynamic drives. See this: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...-dynamic-disks

I'd reformat the drive and go with Basic. Back when I was using Windows I'd always reformat a new drive to get rid of any vendor supplied crud on there. And now that I'm on a Mac I still have to reformat new drives as they almost always come formatted for Windows.

Pro Tools will not record to a DYNAMIC drive(learned the hard way). Reformat is the way to go.
