do not change it do dynamic. it says that because maximum partitions that you can do on a hard drive is 4. if you pass 4, the drive need to change to dynamic from basic. if you are in dynamic mode and you want to go basic, you'll have to format everything on hdd. windows does not install on dynamic partition. I think less partitions is better. my recomendation on laptop is 3 partitions. system restore, C: and D:, (and hidden E: in case of laptops with recovery partition)

go to computer, rightclick manage, then disk management in disk management you'll see something like this http://virtuallycloud9.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Disk-Management-in-win71.png

thats a 2 partition drive. in that case you have to lower the C, and make a new partition named D, change the letter on the dvd first. if that bar is blue, then is basic, if its a yellow mustard, is dynamic, if its black it's unused space. if you have a partition "recovery" or named like that, do not modify it.
