I think i screwd up
I was messin with ubuntu and I thought i would install it for kicks well I found out how hard linux is to master and i decided to remove it. I just fixed the MBR and loaded windows and went to delete the partition it was on. when I went into disk management I noticed that when I installed it only gave windows 60 gb and gave ubuntu the rest of my 250 gig harddrive. While trying to merge the 2 partitions I somehow converted my disk to a dynamic disk. now im stuck with a 60 gb partition and a 190 gb partition and I want one 250 gb (i dont like partitions.) so now how do I do that? I tried partition magic it wouldnt do anything because of it being a dynamic and then I tried dskprobe and in that i cant select my physical drive nothing shows up. so im lost and I am finally hapy with how my windows is set up after fresh install.

In theory that should work.
If you have a 2nd drive you could ghost your first one, format it then ghost it back and you will be good to go.
convert [name of volume] /FS:NTFS
Then you can ghost it to a second drive format your current drive and ghost it all back to one happy partition.
and about the ghost stuff could you explain I am good with computers but not that good.
The ghost thing is a way of doing an drive or partition duplication from one drive to another. The point of using ghost is that it's a low level duplication so you can migrate the data and it remains intact. Where as you couldn't for example hook up a new drive and just try and copy everything from windows to the new drive and hope the new drive would then work. Just can't happen.
