Cannot import dynamic disk

[AAT89]

PLEASE HELP,
I cannot import a dynamic disk
Logical Disk Manager Service recognise disk as dynamic, foreign, but if I go import it it says:
INTERNAL Error - Disk group has no valid configuration copies

We are on the phone with IBM on the same Raid error, cannot import dynamic disk. Let me know if you find out, and I will do the same on the fix.

IBM got us as far as possible, and then pointed us to this article. Apparently you are not suppose to expand the partitions of dynamic disks at all according to Microsoft now (new thing). Only use dynamic disks if you are software mirroring or striping, never for hardware raid at any level. They have a utility to fix this error and also to expand the basic disks as well. It does cost 245 to call. If all goes well, email me and I can send you the utilities.
