I have a lenovo X1 that I am looking to dual boot windows and ubuntu on.

I am having an issue.

The disk came with 4 partitions

SYSTEM_DRV, Windows C:, Lenovov Recovery, Hibernate Partition

I have a SSD (250 gb)

I have shrunk Windows C: so that I have 100gb of unallocated space. My plan was to install ubuntu on that.

But when I try to create a new partition to install ubuntu on. Windows is saying I have to convert to a dynamic disk. I don't really understand the difference between Dyanimc and Basic disk but a quick search I am assuming I dont want to do this as I boot from this disk?

Any suggestions on what I can do to dual boot?

Thanks
