Hi i have a question, the name volume is used also for primary and logical partitions on basic disks as well ? can i install OS on volumes on a Dynamic Disk ?Ammar S. Mitoori

Ok, I'll try...Logical Drive and Volume can be considered synonymous. Volume and partition are not synonymous. Search here at TechNet for Basic Disk, Volumes, and Dynamic Disks for some lengthy reading on the topic to complete your understanding of disk structure and disk management. Be careful using dynamic disks. It brings particular considerations into play for future management and maintainence.

Hi, You may refer to the following KB article: You cannot select or format a hard disk partition when you try to install Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 Also, please check if the following link helps: Installing Windows 7 on a dynamic disk Regards, Sabrina TechNet Subscriber Support in forum If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tnmff@microsoft.com.
