Okay, you have to use FDISK -- or a hard drive setup utility -- to change it.

A hard drive can typically be partitioned into a primary DOS partition, which is also a drive, and a secondary DOS partition, which is not a drive but is a place to put logical DOS drives. Of course, in your case, someone made the logical DOS drive the same size as the extended DOS partition.

The primary can NOT be split into mutlipe drives -- so you will have to delete everything and then re-create it.

Lots more here -- oldie but a goodie from MS
