What message did it give you?
You will most likely need to extend C: back into the unallocated space first to only have 3 partitions, then see if you may be able to create the extended partition.
Diskpart
Select Disk 0
Create primary partition extended size=1000 noerr
assign

Hi Dinesh,
Not entirely sure what you are trying to do, but if you have a Primary adjacent to an Extended - Paragon can convert the Primary to a Logical drive.
That should free up a partition slot.  | | My System Specs | | OS Vista x64 / 7 X64

Unfortunately, he has no 'Extended'.
Can Paragon change a 'Primary' to --> Extended ?
Seems 'Right-most' volume should... | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Gateway GT5056
