Ok. Here's what I did. I have two hard drives. I went to msconfig and set them both to dynamic. Now I cannot set them back to basic. How can I do that? I think if they are both dynamic I will not be able to install windows on any of them in the future if I format so I need them to be basic.

Help please.
 
You are going to have to destroy those partitions and recreate them as dynamic disks put data all over the place similar to what a RAID does. Back up your data and then wipe and reload.

The thing is that I have one which is labeled system and it does not let me delete it and the other one I have Windows on it and does not let me delete it too.

What can I do???

You cannot delete the partition you are booted from, you need to boot off your Windows installer disk and wipe it and reload it off of that if you do not wish to run dynamic disks.
