I was trying to make some space to install linux in my HP notebook.
The computer had 4 partitions, I made space shrinking one and created a new one (facepalm) using the windows partitioning tool. It show me some warning message saying something about dynamic partitions, I ingored it, and went to the linux live CD.
I installed linux in the new partition, after the installation completed it told me that GRUB cannot be installed I dont remember why.

So now, it doesnt boot, neither windows nor linux.
After google for a while I found the diskpart command, it gives me this info:

DISKPART> list disk

DISK ###  Status
--------  ---------------
DISK 0    Invalid

DISKPART> select disk 0
DISKPART> select partition

Partition ###  TYPE     
-------------  --------------
Partition 1    Dynamic Data
Partition 2    Dynamic Data
Partition 3    Dynamic Data
Partition 4    Primary        <- I think I put linux here

Any idea whats happening? Or how to solve it?

Thanks
