Thanks so much for your help. Just to ckeck before I do anything stupid: I extend the DATA partition (there's not much on it atm, so it's probably the best) to fill all space, then convert it to "Logical / Extended" and create the new logical partitions in that? Will this make the DATA partition appear any differently in Windows?

Thanks once again

Robert
Not quite. First you convert the data partition to Logical, and then try and create another partition. In all likelihood the program will be smart enough to resize the extended partition to fit around this new partition.
