    Why would you convert your new HD to dynamic if you don't know what it means? Ask Google, ask us. I just answered the exact same question from someone else who waited.

    You need to convert it back using this method: Change a dynamic disk back to a basic disk: Storage Services; Local File Systems

    In the future use free Partition Wizard bootable CD to format Primary partitions for OS's, and Logical partitions for data. This will keep you under the limit of 4 primary which can trigger the error message you got.

Hi! I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my desktop PC. It is currently running Fedora Core 9. When I get to the partition selecting menu of the installation process, it does not allow me to go to the next step, because my system is not NTFS partitioned. Is there a way I can fix that?
