First, download Partition Wizard. Then, right-click in the unallocated space, and select Create. Then create a new Logical partition there.

Make sure you do not create a 4th primary because then you will be stuck. Only simple partitions from here on. Have you tried to make a simple partition in the 100GB unallocated with Disk Management?

That is strange especially since your 4th is already a simple partition. But maybe Partition Wizard can overcome that. But be careful not to end up with another primary. Then you run the risk to get converted to all dynamic partitions - and that is a real mess.

Hi,
the Free Partition Wizard can help.
As Johnathan says, in Partition Wizard main window, rt click the unallocated space, select create - it will create a new logical drive

So that I understand:
Will Partition Wizard recognise that there are already 3 Primary partitions and an Extended partition (containing one Logical partition), add the unallocated space to that Extended partition and then create a second Logical partition?
Magic, indeed. :)

I'm not sure, DarkStart. If it doesn't work, he can move the logical partition to the left, and try then.

Hello Jonathan
How do you move the logical partition to the left?
By the way i put the unallocated space back in the C:/ drive. But i would like to know how to move the logical partition to the left that is interesting. And what happens when you move it to the left, I am new at this so i am trying to learn.
I have 500GB drive i would like to partition out less say up to 5 to 6 partitions. On the C:/ drive my used space is 128GB. & D:/ drive is 14.9 GB & X:/ drive is 30GB.
Thanks for your help on this guys.
