So I have never tried to install 2 OS's on the same drive before and really am not sure what I am doing. I have tried a bunch of different things I have read on these forums and nothing seems to be working. Everytime I try to run the Windows 8 setup, it tells me I can't install on a dynamic volume.
I just finished burning my recovery disks, then deleting the recovery partition since my laptop had 4 partitions by default. I click on my C: drive and select "Shrink Volume" so I end up with a 100GB partition for Windows 8. But now if I go try and install, I get an error message. Wiping this hard drive is not an option. So is there any way to do fix this without having to buy some software.
