guys i wanted to dual boot win 8 developer preview with my win 7.so i formatted a 50GB partition and went for its installation but when i selected it to install it is giving an error message that it is dynamic partition and i found all the partitions including the win 7 one is also dynamic.so is it possible to convert that single partition where i want to install win 8 to basic from dynamic?
Thank you.
