How do I mount dynamic disk on new system without access to the old OS ?

I need to move Dynamic data disk from old Windows XP (Pro, SP3) system, where disk crashed, to new Windows system without having access to the old OS.

On new system, Dynamic disk shows as "Dynamic - Foreign".

Microfoft has instructions for moving Dynamic Disk [1].

But Microsoft assumes having access to the old system. But I do not have acess to the old system. I am struck with "Dynamic - Foreign" static of the disk on new system.

Thanks
WinXP Pro SP3
