Correct. Since the other method with the programs didn't work for you, it may be worth a try using this method with the included ISO burner in Windows 7.

How does it work for you?


What error message did it give when you tried to merge the .reg file?

 

[vishUltra]

It gave same message that the iso file is invalid!!!

 

[Brink]

Well, give the free program below that they have on their site a try to see if it may be able to burn the ISO to a blank unformatted CD/DVD. When the program is installed, right click on the pwhe7.iso file and click on Burn with Express Burn.

Now i Used The partition wizard directly to create logical drive. I created Unallocated space from my C drive of about 5GB and then right clicked it to assign it letter, but when at final step it gave message that you are creating dynamic disk from basic due to which u will b unable to boot OS??
What should i do?? Is this message saying that i will be void to use my windows again??
As i mentioned previously that i want a seperate drive not only for my files but for installing linux, Will i b able to do so.??
Plz gave appropriate solution step wise ..
Thnks ..

You must have a typo because 5gb isn't nearly large enough for a new partition.

If you used Partiiton Wizard to convert C to a Logical drive then shrunk it to add another partition it should allow you to create an adjacent Logical partition which will not change the disk to Dynamic. Make sure C is now Logical, and you chose a Logical partition to create during this process: Partition Wizard Create Partition - Video Help

Post back a another screenshot of your maximized Disk Mgmt drive map and listings.

No I didn't Create logical C drive as partition wizard was not able to burn because it was not detected by any tool(the problem is been discussed with BRINK)!!
But i used partition wizard directly to shrunk some space;
So for trial i created 5GB unallocated and the PW captioned it as logical.
But after trying to label it , it gave msg of Dynamic disk from basic>???
Waiting for help..
thnks..

Also In the above video when Unallocated space is given a CREATE command , the wizard is able to create partitions.
But in my case the the CREATE command does not do this and it shows that " no free MBR slots!!!!"

Waiting for the screenshot.

The owner of a lenovo laptop should go to Forums.Lenovo.com and read what other users say about the lenovo warranties after resizing partitions.

Lenovo doesnt care what we do with the windows.. They only care for damages on lenovo parts,nothing Else.. SO warranty will not void in any such case..

So Finally Thanks For the Help , I solved the partition problem by using Partition Wizard.
So, Here s the brief story.
Partition wizard wasnt burning on the disk,so no boot time partitioning or conversion from primary to logical.
So,tried to carry out partitioning without boot, just installed partitionwizard , Modified the primary partition C to Logical BUzzzz..(Got message, the system may fail to boot).. Went ON...
so.. What i got was.. A logical C drive without any damage or boot problems...
Yupieee....
Once again ..Thanks to all the members here...
Ya.. if u r gna try this at risk..please create recovery disk first,i repeat, create recovery disk first..
Den Just njoy..

N ya i din post any screenshots coz.. system said it will b unable to boot after creating to logical,der was no choice for me...so i took risk and did it.. n der ws no problem den..

Suit yourself. You apparently know better than us anyway. We've obviously wasted the time of the thousands of others we've requested screenshots from and found potential problems.
