The problem is that Micro$oft writes their own MBR. Although I think there are some distributions that can mount such drive, you can't boot different OS from this disk (yet). But still you can revert dynamic disk to basic from Disk administration utility in Windows 2000/XP.

I have two hard drives and have used Windows XP Professional to convert both to dynamic.
