"so you can bet I'll be doing some more reading."
...and some more backing up before messing with disk configurations?

Yeehaw! I love doing this stuff.
After further research, I realized what exactly needed to be changed in the
system-id field. In DiskProbe, the first physical disk was selected as
dynamic under the System-id field. I switched this back to NTFS, wrote it to
disk, and now previously unreadable partition is now the D partition, and
the disk was reverted back to basic (Without data loss!).
The only bad thing is I achieved this with dumb luck rather than a full
understanding of what was going on, so you can bet I'll be doing some more
reading.
I appreciate everyone's help.
