Import Foreign Disk Help!!!

Question

I have 4 Disks that are spanned dynamically and all of them show up in disk management but when I try to import them (from another system that no longer exists). it says import foreign disk group 2 of 2. It has this twice so I know it sees all 4 but it recognizes it as 2 groups of 2. It then asks are you sure you want to do this as its incomplete it could cause loss of data etc. it would be disatrous to lose the data on this disk. What should I do?I read that if I try to import them without all 4 the data will be destroyed. I just don't know how it assigns and recognizes that they are or are not part of the same group, is there some regedit?
