Please post back a screenshot of your maximized Disk management drive map with listings so we can see if your configuration will continue working or is still Dynamic. Screen Shots
What other OS are you running? Where did you get it?

The legend isn't showing so we can see what type of Disk it is (Dynamic or Basic) for the color border shown. So this doesn't really help.
Can you install PW Home version to that OS to post back a screenshot or try conversion to basic? Here is the download of version 4.2 installed Home version: partition wizard 4.2 free.zip - Windows Live

Is there anything in PW Home that will run from the Disk tab when you highlight the disk?
I would wipe the HD from PW CD Disk Tab or using the link I gave you earlier from booted Win7 flashstick, clean reinstall your licensed version of Win7.
Is this preinstalled Win7 or a retail copy you bought?Last edited by gregrocker; 11 Apr 2012 at 19:45.

Is Jolicloud on a different disk?
if so, then here's what you can do:
1. make sure you have a Key for windows 7
2. Download Windows 7 from Digital river, make sure you get the same version as you key, which you said to be Ultimate 32-bit
3. reformat the Windows drive, make sure it's not formatted as a dynamic disk.
4. create a 4gb partition at the end of the disk, make it fat32 and bootable (NTFS may work fine IDK)
5. mount the Windows installer iso in Jolicloud, and copy it's contents to the new partition. A little extra juju may be needed to make it bootable, but I don't know
6. in theory, you should be able to boot from the installer partition.
7. install as normal, selecting the large unallocated space. do NOT delete any partitions yet.
8. once you are in Windows, you should be able to use Disk Management to delete the installer partition and extend the boot partition. Or if you want you can remove the drive letter to hide it, and use a BCD editor to configure it into a permanent recovery partition.
When I did this I was using EFI and could boot the recovery partition directly from the UEFI shell. On older MBR disks the steps are a little more tricky.
