I find your question a bit hard to follow, so I apologize if this answer is
not responsive.
To use "logical" partitions (the ones with numbers above 4), you need to
make one of the first 4 "real" partitions an "extended" partition. It in
turn holds the logical partitions. Assuming you are using fdisk, choose "e"
for one of the partitions 1-4.
