My current harddisk is partitioned in the following manner. The number of cylinder max is supposed to be 60801, but the extended partition max out to 46688 only. fdisk does not allow me to create any more primary, and I cannot convert the the remaining space between cylinder 46688 and 60801 to become part of the last extended partition. How can I use the this space then - which is about 100GB?
