Above you see your disk layout. You have noticed that there is one primary partition missing - the sda3 should be a primary partition (even if unused free space), the extended partition would be sda4, and the logical partitions would be sda5, sda6, ... . OK. We have to find a way to insert that new 3rd primary partition into its place. This will be done by taking some space from sda2 (W95 FAT16). In order to do that we have to save your data on that sda2 partition to somewhere, best would be if you start your Win XP and copy that data to your sda8 partition which is W95 FAT32, or to your CD-RW or CD-R disk, or to your sda1 partition (pay attention: NTFS), or you may decide that you do not have anyting valuable there and do not care if it gets destroyed by us. Please save sda2 contents now and let me know when finished and ready for part 3.
