It sounds like you are being given the final warning before converting your disk to Dynamic. Do not do this. It may make Win7 unbootable.

If you've already done so, you'll need to use the first non-destructive option in Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk to convert it back. It requires deleting the partitions you created in excess of the allowed four primary in order to convert back to Basic.
