From this description, I suspect that the free space you referring
to is free space within the extended partition.  You need to resize
the extended partition so that it is just big enough to contain your
two logical partitions.  This should result in some "real" free space
in which you can create a primary partition.

BTW, I've only really used version 3 of Partition Magic , so I can't
say what version 1 can do.  However, since this is all fairly basic
partitioning functionality, I think this should work in version 1.
