I bought a sheath for my old laptop's hard drive, but Windows doesn't allow me to access its contents. Disk management says it's Invalid and Dynamic, and won't let me reactivate it. Minitool, when I try to convert it to basic, says "Failed to convert the specified dynamic disk". I know the data on it is still good, as when I view it in Linux it works fine after fixing ntfs.
How might I return this drive to a state usable by Windows Home without losing data? If there's no way, I can use Linux and move the files directly to a new harddrive before wiping it or I can get Windows Pro, but if possible I'd like to avoid those routes.
Thank you
