Hi Dinesh,
Your D logical drive is already within an Extended partition.
The idea is to get the E partition inside the Extended partition as well.
You can use either the PM 9.5 PRO, or the Hard Disk Manager 9.5 ( the boot disc from both also has that function and will work for any bit version.
It is very straightforward - just rt click E , select Make Partition Logical. Click Yes :
I tried it myself - took only a few seconds and worked flawlessly without any data loss.
Never a bad idea to back up anything vital before any kind of operation ( you probably have done that already).

Well it went pretty well and now Im on my XP and you are the man for that :)

G: is External
----------------------------
But now in Windows XP

There aren't any problems they all work pretty well by the way
While it's normal for each OS to see itself as the C: drive when it's running, it is a bit odd that it changed the drive letters for every drive like that though. I suppose that as long as everything is running smoothly, it may be fine though.
