You need disk space on the drive that is to be upgraded to dynamic, not on a non formatted partition.

Free your existing partition.

A dynamic disk requires 1MB of UNPARTITIONED space. Your current Primary and Extended partitions are taking up the whole drive . This article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;197738 describes the need to backup and repartition your logical drive but I feel sure that this could be achieved with disk utilities such as Powerquest?s Partition Magic.
