Blueriver,
Since you already have 4 primary partitions, you will not be able to do this in Disk Management. Instead, you could use the tutorial below to shrink your C: partition, then use that unallocated space between C: and D: to create a logical partition to install Windows 8 onto.
Partition / Extended : Logical Drives
Hope this helps,
Shawn
Thank you, I got it....
Hi
I have one parimary partition (70 GB) and an unallocated space (396 GB) when I open disk management I want to create an extended partiton but your instraction is about primary partitions.
Can you give us an instruction about create a new extended partition?
Hi Brink
Thanks alot for your instruction.
My problem was solved.

hello Brink,
i have been trying to do this so i can install windows 8 on a seperate partition and dual boot with windows 7
i have shrank my C: , and now have 100GB of unallocated space (as seen in screen shot)
now in your tutorial you state to click no if you get a popup saying to change to dynamic ( in screen shot) so i do this but i am still left with my unallocated space, how do i make that to a logical or primary partition?
thank you.
Hello F4T3, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Since you already have 4 primary partitions, you will not be able to create another primary partition with the unallocated space. Instead, you could use the tutorial below to create a logical partition with the unallocated space to then be able to install Windows 8 on. :)
