You need to have Windows convert the disk back to a basic disk ( in the disk utility ).

Microsofts offical policy is a full backup, erase dynamic partitions and create new basic partitions. There is no undo. Dynamic volume is a Microsoft proprietary format developed together with Veritas (now acquired by Symantec) for logical volumes. You may be use a third-party tool, such as Partition Wizard MiniTool or EASEUS to convert a convert a dynamic disk to a basic disk without having to delete or format them.

I've never used any of these and so I can't be sure they will work.Be sure to have good backups as any major partition change has risks. Dynamic also on gpt as LDM
