You can only have 4 logical partitons and rest of have to be extended . you can try partition magic http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/ , get a triel version .

hi, i'm a bit confused by the above, do u mean per PC or per Drive? it don't make much sence to me please explain.
right then lets forget about 1st disk for now...on my new drive i hav created 1 primary dos partition 10gb then extended dos partition of remaining space...then it asks to make logical partitions inside extended so i make 1 of 10gb size and the other uses remaining space of about 25gb...the last 25gig is missing after reboot.
as far as i know this is the right way of doing it, and i have done it exactly the same b4 but on a PC with 1 drive tho and all was cool.
i need help, this is doing my head in cuz its the first time i have fitted a drive in a pc, thanx again

You're using fdisk so you're creating 1 primary, 1 extended, then 2 logical within the extended, right? This is better than fdisk. Download ranish, http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/ unzip, and copy part.exe to a boot floppy, boot with it, type part at the A: prompt, hit f5 to look at disk 2, what does it report? Esc to quit.
yeah that exactly the partitions i want, now there is a new prob...(gggrrrrrr)...when the drive is connected to any EIDE slave or master in both my PC's Boths PC's Refuse to Boot 1 just freeze just after it finds CD-ROMS and the other PC Still but allows me to enter BIOS...
Thats y i aint replyed for a while i've been swapping Drives around...
The Drive from this PC works fine in the PC with Problem so there is nothing wrong with PC.
I guess the drive is knackered, its a western digital factory repack, it was all in sealed bag when i got it, but i guess these things happens.
Do you think its knackered, b just my luck.
i'll have to check out above app when i get a replacement now by the looks of it..
Cheers all!
