Yes, you need to delete the 4th partition, and then create the logical
partition from 4th partition.

I'm trying to create a new partition on my boot disk but I get an error
that says I must delete one first. I have 4 partitions defined
so far and want to create a 5th. which I would have thought
would be an extended partition since I already have 4.
Can anyone help?
