I am unable to create a logical drive from my unallocated space. When I click on New simple volume and proceed, it creates another dynamic drive. I tried to creating a logical drive from my Windows 7 disk but the 'new' option (used to create a new drive) is disabled.
Any ideas?

A logical drive is a kind of partition on a basic disk (i.e. a disk with a regular MBR partition table). If the only option for new partitions on a disk is to create dynamic drives, it is probably set up as a dynamic disk. You can't create a logical drive on a dynamic disk.

Update:
The Disk Management tools included with Windows 7 can convert an empty dynamic disk back to a basic disk.

Of course, as usual there are ways to do this without having to reformat, but be careful.
