I'm not sure what you mean by a LOGICAL drive. If you mean a partition, when
you use FDISK to create a new partition, it will not let you create one
since you have no more available space. It is already reserved for the
partition(s) that you already have. If you are now dissatisfied with the
way you defined your partitions previously, you will need to back up
everything you have on your entire hard disk and then start over.
Have Fun!
