I need to create an extended partition because I currently can not have more than 4.
I need 3 partitions out of the unallocated space in addition to the other partitions.
I have never created one.
How would I do that ?
Attached is a screenshot of what I currently have.
If you use XP3 , i remember that the thing is not easy with data on the disk.
Later Windows system are more easy with that.
This one need LINUX (???!!!!!),Have a look on what can do GPARTED for you.
It boot on a CD and offer a usefull tool for partition.
Create it possible, but GParted as I remember can't do it. So use simple more powerful partition manager.
wrong!
I had myself used it in my old XP with data in it.
The trick is to boot on a cd , you need to made an iso file.

Maybe this one (http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html) may help
Thanks to all for the advice.
i have used EaseUS Partition Manager under XP SP3 with no problems
if your operation involves resizing the boot drive, it will do it on a re-boot
generally, when i format a new drive, i create 4 "primary" partitions
that's usually enough for anything i want to do
if you create 3 "primary" partitions, and 1 "logical" partition,
you may use additional "extended" partitions beyond the standard 4

Extended is Microsoft OSes type of partition, so not all others vendors know how to make them, as logical partitions uses MS-DOS boot record type for operations with chain of logical drives.
Just chit chat.
I can grant that GPARTED work perfectly on Windows xp3 because i have use it.
GParted is an excellent program.
