Partitioning- error
I have a 250Gb HDD on my brand new netbook running win 7 starter.
Here are my current partitions:
-SYSTEM 199Mb NTFS
-C: 218Gb NTFS
-RECOVERY 14Gb NTFS
-HP TOOLS 118Mb FAT
I want another partition to put a linux distro on... for messing around.
I can successfully shrink the c volume, and have an unallocated space volume of xxGb.
Then I right click the unallocated space and select "create simple volume" and select a drive letter and name for it and NTFS.
When I click OK, I get a message saying that the operation will convert the selected basic disk to a dynamic disk.
then i click ok
then i get an error message saying dynamic disks are not supported by my OS...
Any ideas? Thanks.
