Can I install Windows 7 Home Premium on a Dynamic Disk?
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,

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 | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops
