See Section 5.3 at the link below for detailed instructions:

Partitioning with fdisk

Or just use gparted. Do an fdisk -l before and after to see what it did.

In Linux, after creating an "extended partition", you still need to create the "logical partition". Within "fdisk" choose "n" again for each new logical partion that you create. The next question once an "extended partition" has been created is:

Command (m for help): n
Command action
   l   logical (5 or over)
   p   primary partition (1-4)

Use the "l" for creating the "logical partition" as with the primary (and even extended partitions) you will be asked the "first sector" and "Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G}" questions.

If you had already created a logical partition within the extended partition, and there was no room to create another logical partition, then the previous suggestion to use gparted is the way to go - you might be able to shrink the older logical partition so there is room for a new one.

If the older partition is mounted, as it would be if it's a partition in use by your system, then you would have to either (a) unmount any logical partitions in that extended partition, or (b) boot a live CD of an appropriate distro, and then use gparted from that to reconfigure your extended partition.

Moving and resizing large partitions can be very slow, so patience may be needed!

Post your partition information from the fdisk command.
