Disk management. Warning creating partition

I have a HDD that I am trying to get ready for dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu. I have it set up for 141gb on the windows boot partion, 14gb for the linux partion, and 126gb unallocated that i want to create for a storage section.

My problem is, when I go into disk management, create simple volume, follow all steps, at the end it gives this warning. "The operation u have selected will convert basic disk to dynamic. If you convert to dynamic, you will not be able to start installed op systems from any volume on the disk (except the current boot volume)."

I want Win7 as primary and linux as a secondary, but isnt this warning saying that basically only the current volume (Win7) can be booted? Im confused :(
 
Yes, the warning is saying that the 14gb partition and Storage will not be bootable. But, that will change when you Install Linux and the Bootloader.
