Welcome to TSF.

In Disk management >> convert the drive to a Basic Disk.

Yes, you're right - it will erase the data. My bad...

It's the basic >> dynamic conversion that's non-destructive.

Did you try "Import foreign disks"? That should fix it.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 is available via Windows Update.

I can't find that page (with the registry edit).

See if you can mount the drive with FindAndMount.

If that won't work - try Recuva and/or Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier to find your files and move them.
