Windows 7 dynamic drive offline disappears

[chuckhrtn72]

Ok I was having problems with one of my 1tb drives so I thought I would try and go to dynamic when I was fooling arround with it I took it off line now it does not appear in disk management anymore I am not worried about the data I just want the drive back. Does anyone know of a tool to recover the drive back? I will admit I f&*% up and don't know how to fix it at all.
