This will not work, free space has to be at the end of the device.
When I interpret the sfdisk table right, at the end the harddisk is 5 GB free.
Is my assupmtion wrong?
You have one extended partition from cylinder 0 to 339. As you cannot have any partition AFTER an extended partition, cylinders 340 to 1026 cannot be used.
So you end up with a situation, where there is no more space available on the disk.
Exactly, the extended partition has to have the total size of the disk in order to be able to create new logical partitions. Basically these is no way around this but to delete everything and repartition your disk. Anas
