Linux fdisk ( / partiton)

4)Make another primary partition of +300M (swap)
using red hat linux's fdisk

5) reboot the system using Microsoft fdisk

6) Make extended partition from remaining space
   using microsoft's fdisk
   
   1st logical drive = 6283M
   2nd logical drive = 6275M
   3rd logical drive = 5193M
