Above is precisely the actual setup. But the FREE 10 GB cannot be reached with the partitioner of Yast. Which partitioning tool would format this free partition? Suggestions please. fdisk or similar? The linux parts are formatted as Ext 4 but it would be okay to use Ext 3.
This Windows 7 setup has not complained and plays well with the reduction of its reduction.
I used a Linux Rescue CD and, IIRC, the tool was GParted. However, you still won't be able to resize the extended partition.
The OP has made no mention of an extended partition, and the description of his problem (inability to create a 5th partition) and statement that my assumed scheme was correct strongly implies he doesn't have one on that drive. GParted will definitely allow the root partition to be moved and resized, but of course you *cannot* move a mounted partition so a 'rescue' system needs to be used. And, of course, backing up is essential in such undertakings (or acceptance that un-recoverable failure may occur...)
