is there a way to make primary partitions into non-primary partitions?
I think that in theory it's possible, but I'm not familiar with any methods that may exist.
On reflection I realize that statement could be misleading. One can use another device: copy the content to it, delete, recreate, and copy back. The device can be PATA, SATA, SCSI, USB - anything you can install temporarily or permanently with enough free capacity. After that process on a bootable partition, likely it would either need "repair" to remain bootable, or not be capable of being made bootable, depending on its type and role in the system. For that matter, if the partition to be converted is non-bootable, simply copy its contents to freespace on existing partitions, delete, recreate, and copy back. -- "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
