More precisely, one cannot add another partition to a BIOS/MBR disk if 4 primaries already exist thereon, and none of those that exist is a valid Extended.
many people where confused because the OP said "UEFI" in his first post. there is a bit more. in msdos, AFAIK, extended partition (as the others) have to be in only one segment, it can't be split. So, say that you use the 12Gb partition and remove it. These 12Gb are probably lost, if you want to use the 100+ Gb free space if the two are not contiguous. It's not very important, but could be in some circumstances. There may be some other solutions, like moving the msdos disk to GPT, moving partition boudaries and the like, but even if I see some infos on this on the net, I'm not experienced enough on windows to do so. also some recent laptops have msata extra ports - I was lucky enough to buy a €80 second hand computer (dell vostro) that have this and I could install a second hand msata 60Gb €25 ssd and install openSUSE 42.2 on it dunno if many laptops have it jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
