Can not partition the Hard disk.

 i already tried to create a new partition and it did, but the new partition that i created became 'Unallocated' i do not know why, i have read information online and they say that you cannot delete an 'unallocated' partition drive, so i am trying to create a new partition from that 'unallocated' drive. when its nearly finished,

i get this warning all the time  the operation you selected will convert the selected basic disk s to dynamic disk s. if you want to convert the disks to dynamic disks, you will not be able to start Operation systems from any volumes on the disk s (except from the current boot volume). Are you sure you want to continue?  

 i want to create a new partition from that drive, please help  When i click yes, it brings an error saying,

the "dynamic disks are not supported by this operating system".

  I am using Win7 home editon and dell inspiron 14R  Please help me..

I am also sending the snaps of problem.

 

Please help me....

Thanx...

Since you already have four primary partitions, you cannot add another one - Windows won't support more than four primary partitions.  You will need to delete one of the existing partitions and create an extended (NOT primary) partition - then, you can create as many logical drives in that partition as you wish.

Windows Home doesn't support dynamic discs.

You cannot have four PRIMARY partitions in the same system - there are now four there (the OEM diagnostic partition, C, D and E) - so one must be deleted, and converted to an extended partition (once you do this, the recovery partition will be useless, so you may as well dispose of that one).
