Lee,
the key thing I see here is that any space to be allocated as partitions
MUST be contiguous, (all together in a block). There is NO way to get space
at the end of a drive to be in a partition 3 partitions in front of it
without deleting those three partitions and including that space too.
Linux will however allow you to use the space as if it were in the same
partition, by making a new partion, ext2 formatting it and then mounting it
at a point inside (like in the root directory of)the partition you want the
extra space in.
