I want to create another bootable partition on my HD (which means it needs to be a primary partition since one can only boot into primary partitions)
You'll see n the pic below I currently have 3 primary partitions
> C: boots to XP
> E: boots to Win 7
> And there's an unlabeled primary partition
I also have a chunk of unallocated space in a logical partition
EASUS Disk Manager
> Will let me copy E: to the unallocated space but it won't let me change the partition type (the option is dimmed)
> Likewise if I simply Create a new partition in the unallocated space it won;t let me change partition type
I also tried using Acronis to backup E: then restore it to the space, but when done it was still a logical partition.
Any ideas what the problem is?
