You cannot change a partition into an extended one or vice versa
Delete it first.

Now you need to create a logical partition with that. On one of my systems I have: magni:~# fdisk -l <snip> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 39 19624+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 40 535 249984 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda3 536 26205 12937680 5 Extended /dev/hda5 536 2519 999904+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 2520 4503 999904+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 4504 6487 999904+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 6488 26205 9937840+ 83 Linux Partitions 1 and 2 are primary, 4 is the exteneded space, and partitions 5 - 8 are logical partitions. Working from memory you need to do something like: * fdisk /dev/sda * "n" to create a new patition * "l" for logical * <return> (to start at the begining of the extended partition space) * <return> (to fill to the end of the extended partition space) * "w" * "q" Now use /dev/sda5 and it should work happily.
