I bought my laptop with Win 7 pre-installed and I shrinked a partition and created a free unallocated space , but when I was installing ubuntu It called this space "unusable" . So I started reading a bit and found that My disk is a dynamic disk and that's different from the basic disk so It doesn't have primary or logical disks ( Am I right ?) . I still want to install ubuntu what should I do ?

You could
- Install Ubuntu using Wubi method.
- Virtualize Ubuntu
- Convert the dynamic disc to basic disc and then try installing
If I were you, I'd probably go for virtualization method
