Dynamic disks fail on import

Problem: Dynamic disks fail on import
Environment – 2003 SP1 – not clustered
Root Cause (if known) – LDM database had errors on disks
Resolution – Copy good LDM header to remaining disks. Convert two disks from dynamic to basic.

Tools used was dmpss and diskprobe. The header was change by reading the binary and changing the hex to match the basic disk headers.
