Hi Martin,

Sorry for the slow reply, I made the announcement and went on holiday.

The LDM patch just allows the kernel to understand Windows new
partitioning.  Without it you'll just see one BIG partition of type
0x42.

If you only have simple disks on a dynamic disk, then it shouldn't be
too hard to convert a dynamic disk back to a basic disk.  We don't
have a tool to do this yet.

Cheers,
