You need to destroy one of your primary partitions to create a logical one.

Be careful all, don't confond partition and filesystem on the partition !

damNageHack, can you tell us what you got before, what you got now, and what do you expect to have ? It will be easier to help you.

If you like your data, you have to do a backup of your data anyway before such tasks :P

Solution: Delete partition and create a new logical (correct) one ...

Then copy data from original (sda1) partition as did before but with wrong partition type.

Done. :lol:
