Partitioning Problem

4 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/partitioning-problem.174962/

Hi,
I've bought lenovo u410 ultrabook recently. It has 500gb HDD.
C:\ drive is of size 420GB .
I want to partition it into two 120+300.
I tried to do it using EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.1 Home Edition.

It shows following Error. (shown in pic)

Please Help. Thank you..!!

Assuming your 5th partition, "LENOVO_PART" is also primary partition (hidden by error message box in screen shot), and I'm sure it is the case.

The problem is any disk can't have more than 4 primary partitions, and you already have 4.

What you need to do, is first convert any contiguous(C: or D: ) partition to unallocated space to logical, then create as many sub-partitions in that logical partitions.

don't mess around with partitions if you don't know what you are doing.also which operation did you use to create 300gb partition,resizing/shrinking C drive etc.
