    I think that i have the toshiba recovery on one partition, and the other one is like recovery for windows i think
    The first thing I'd do is get that largest partition a drive letter. The one with 228 GB.

    Then, use Partition Wizard to create logical partitions.

    Post another picture of Disk Management or Partition Wizard, showing that the drive has the C drive letter.

    There is no need to make C logical.

    But that space next to it that you want to make into another partition must be logical.

    Whatever you do, don't say yes to "dynamic" partitions.

    I can't read French, but I think everything looks OK.

    What is the remaining problem?

    You have System Reserved plus 3 other partitions: C, E, F.

    For everyone of the monolinguals:

    Go is french for Gigabyte. That will probably help your understanding of his diskmanagement display.

    His "c:" drive does have a name. A system drive by any other name smells as sweet (to abuse a common saying).

    fliint,
    If you will follow this procedure then this may help since then the full and complete display of diskmanagement will be available.

    HOW TO POST A SNAPSHOT OF DISK MANAGEMENT DISPLAY
    Run disk management:
    WIN |
    type DISKMGMT.MSC | ENTER
    This method gives you a display without the unneeded navigation pane.
    WIN=key with Microsoft logo on top.

    Maximize the output of Disk Management:
    Maximize the output of Disk Management:
    ALT-Spacebar key combo | X key (selects Maximize) |
    Drag the field separators (such as between Status and Capacity) to show entire field.


    Make a snapshot:
    WIN |
    type SNIPPING | ENTER | New
    Drag the cursor around the area you want to snip.
    File | Save as | select save location and name | Save


    Post the snapshot:

    Excellent.

    Can you tell what is in your E: partition?

    Presently you have four primary partitions.

    Have you made the Recovery Discs for your system per the manufacturer's advice?
