I recently installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 8, and I partitioned my D drive and allocated 57GB for Ubuntu. But unfortunately, somehow the other partition in my D drive became unallocated like this

I wanted to recover the unallocated space so I tried to create a new simple volume. But a message pops up before that.

My question is if I agree and continue will it have any effect on Ubuntu that I have installed on D drive? And if it does, how do I recover the unallocated space?

MBR is limited to 4 partitions per disk, either 4 primary or 3 primary + 1 extended (where you can create more logical partitions inside). You already have 4 primary partitions on the drive, so you can't create more.



You must use some 3rd party partitioning tools like MiniTool Partition Wizard, AOMEI Partition Assistant, EaseUS Partition Master or fixparts to convert the E: drive to logical and then create a logical disk on the unallocated space.



See How to change logical partition into primary one?





Of course you can also convert basic to dynamic disk (which is the equivalent to LVM on Windows), which supports 1000 dynamic volumes but that may cause issues later, because other partitioners may not work well with dynamic disk. Only use this option if you really know what dynamic disk is
