Recover an unallocated dynamic volume.

I accidentaly deleted the volume D from by dynamic disk0 and it now shows as unallocated space. Is there any way to revert that?

Hi papoos, welcome to 7F!

I have never had cause to use: Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.1, but I believe the Partition Recovery Wizard will do what you need.
There is a Video tutorial link below the screenshot.

Hi anak I tried that but the next button is greyed as you can see in the pic.

I think its because its a dynamic drive and has other active volumes in it?
Actually I wanted to convert to basic so that I could try out ubuntu using wubi. I wont run on dynamic discs
So I tried the option 4 in this guide Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk
In that I clicked delete volume D in disc0 and then I noticed that I could not delete the whole disc because the volume C contains windows.
Now I need to get back volume D

Convert to Basic HD non-destructively using free Partition Wizard bootable CD version 4.2 which is the last version the feature was offered for free: pw422.zip ISO - Windows Live

Burn to CD using Windows Image Burner or ImgBurn, boot CD and follow these video tutorial steps: How to convert dynamic disk to basic disk with Partition Wizard?

You may have to delete any partition you added which tipped the HD to dynamic, before it will convert.

Once converted run the Partition Recovery Wizard again to see if it can retrieve the deleted partition.
