Windows 8 Install Help!

[acwilson96]

I am using the guide to install Windows 8 over two partitions and I get the error:
Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition contains one or more dynamic volumes that are not supported for installation.
I followed all the steps 100%

All help appreciated!
Found this Get the paid version of EaseUS Partition Master at discount. Magic Partition Manager Freeware for PC/Server users. Upgrade EaseUS Partition Master Free can I use this to copy partitions?

*EDIT* Worked it all out, the software linked above was able to convert my Dynamic drive to a Basic drive for free!

Yep! I was just ready to ask why you were trying to do a basic install to a dynamically structured drive. Anyway, please consider marking this thread as solved and glad you figured it out. Cheers.

NO need for 3rd party software.

To clean install:
1) Clean the HD Drive, using Step one in this tutorial:

than
2a) Clean install with the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disk.
