I have windows home premium and I need do more of 4 partition with my hard
disck.

When I try do the fifth partition, the system tried to do a dinamic disc,
but this option isn't support by windows vista home premium. (I will need
other version of windows vista)

Somebody could tell me how can I do more of 4 partition with this version of
windows vista?

Thanks in advantage

You can only have 4 partitions, but one of these can be an Extended
partition (instead of Primary). The Extended partition can contain as many
logical drives as you want, each assigned a drive letter and appearing as a
"partition" of the drive.

Unfortunately the disk manager in Vista won't tell you this, or
indeed offer you the option of creating an extended/logical
partitions when you only have the one which the system is sitting on
plus ooodles of free space.

Use G-parted or similar on a Linux live CD.

It does for me. When I create the 4th partition it automatically makes it
an extended partition.
