quick partitioning help

When I use FDISK to try to create a new partition it says there's no space to create an extended partition. My current setup is just 1 HD and all 40 gigs of it are on the partition. I'm only using 13 gigs of it, but i'd like to create a new partition. I've tried using partition magic to resize my C:\ so i'd have space to create a new partition, but whenever I do that I get the error "#2003 File Size Does Not Match FAT Allocation For File" and it stops everything. Any help/suggestions appreciated
 
Good evening Braves, I take since you were using FDISK that you are prepared to do a complete reinstall of everything onto your hardrive once you get it partitioned and reformated the way you want it?

Partition Magic will allow you to resize without the loss of data. Is your hard drive formated NTFS?

If you really want to use fdisk, then you must delete the current partition. Then you would create a primary partition and make it active. Then you would create an extended partition OR partitions the size you want them to be. Then for each of the extended partitions you will need to assign logical drives for each. The next step would be to format all your brand new partitions. You have a boot disk with format on it, correct???

Then reinstall all your software.

I would try to use partition magic again and figure why it is not reading your disk correctly.
