Made a dynamic disk by mistake when I attempted to install vista
Here's what I am up against. I suspect Widows 7 us corrupt and even with the restore I still have problems. Anyway, for giggles, I wanted to install Vista Professional on a partition as a dual boot and see how it does with Vista. Forget all that why business.
When I create a partition F:, it makes it a dynamic partition and when I attempt to install vista, it says it cannot install on a dynamic volume.
C is of course the main drive
D is the OEM recovery
E is the CD/DVD
F is the new drive.
I made F 12gb but it shows up as dynamic.
How do I get past this?
By the way this is a laptop so no second hard drive can be installed (or if it can, it's not a viable option).
