| | Hello Arminm, and welcome to Seven Forums. Could you post a screenshot of your Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) window showing the complete HDD layout to see if anything may stand out? What happens to prevent you from creating a logical (extended) partition? You might see if the tutorial below may be able to help your shrink the C: drive to create a logical partition with the unallocated space. Partition / Extended : Logical Drives Hope this helps for now, Shawn |

| | If you create the system discs for your system, there should be a utility to do that, then you could delete the Recovery partition. But in the end, AFTER YOU CREATE THE SYSTEM DISCS, you should wipe the drive and reinstall the OS and programs creating the partition for the OS of X size then afterwards using the left over space to make your Extended partition with Logical drives. |
