Dual boot Win 7/Win 2008 Server
I am TRYING to get a dual boot set up on my new Win 7 machine. I have found numerous blogs etc. that detail the process, and I know I'm close, but I am getting a message that seems to say I've got a problem, and NONE of the blogs even mentions it. Very frustrating.
I have a basically BRAND NEW Win 7 Home Premiem machine. I have gone through the process to 'deallocate' a portion of the HDD. BUT when I try to go through the process for giving it a drive letter/format so I can then install Win Server 2008, I get the following message:
"The operation you selected will convert the selected basic disk(s) to dynamic disk(s). If you convert the disk(s) to dynamic disks, you will not be able to start installed operating systems from any volume on the disk(s) (except the current boot volume). Are you sure you want to continue?"
At this point I just have clicked NO, but what do I need to do to accomplish getting a dual boot with Win 2008 Server?
THANKS!
