Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. Also, look in this thread for some freeware partition managers that might help you get rid of that EISA partition.

These partition managers can also move partitions. I would make a recommendation, but I haven't used any of them.

Thanks a lot i now have a clearer idea of how to do what i want, i'll leave the logical as my BackUp. Did not know that Part' can only extend to the right and that explains things and so glad i didn't follow through with things and end up with Dynamic.
