why is some free space "locked" in the extended partition container?

I have a few partitions on this drive, some ntfs, some ext3. for some reason though, there's always this 6gb chunk of free space that seems to be sort of "locked" inside the extended partition container. and there's another larger chunk of free space outside the extended partition container. I've tried a slough of different partitioning utilities and with none of them am I able to combine the free space into one chunk. they all say "can't delete free space or "can't move free space"


what's going on?
 
Is there a protected area of the drive, such as used by OEMs to hold restore information? Check your bios and linux boot messages.
 
well, no because it's not from an oem. it's just a regular 180GXP I bought from some online retailer
