Hello Forum :) I would like to know if it's possible to install Windows 7 Home Premium to a Dynamic Disk. Also, would it be possible to make an image of this dynamic disk using Backup and Restore, and save that image on a Basic Disk? Thanks a bunch,
Rockworthy
I think you are out of luck. You would have to get rid of the dynamic disk to install. Dynamic discs are best avoided if you can.

Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk
Oh okay thank you. This answers my question.
Just to clarify - an installation on dynamic disks is not possible for Home Editions. But for Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate it is possible: You cannot select or format a hard disk partition when you try to install Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
