    First, what are you exactly trying to do? Are you trying to shrink your current partition, so you can make a second, separate data partition?

    Do not convert to Dynamic!

    Please post back a screenshot of your full Disk Management drive map and listings, using Snipping Tool in Start Menu.

    If you're planning to install another OS then we can help you create a 4th Primary partition by converting a data partition (only) to Logical so you can create a new Primary partiiton for the OS. Read over option four here: Partition Wizard : Use the Bootable CD

    Otherwise you can convert a data partiiton (not OS, Boot or Recovery) to Logical which will then allow you to add as many data sub-partitions as there are remaining letters.

    But there are traps to be avoided by posting back the screenshot first for careful scrutiny.
