Solved it this way. Created a new primary partition as wanted but in the middle of the HDD and numbered it sda1. Get fdisk complaining about incorrect partitions ordering as expected and let it to correct it. After this has to reinstall GRUB, since it could not boot reporting Error 15 (file not found). This took some research and 5 minutes of work. :-) Now everything is back in perfect order. The entire story was very educational for me as a newbie. I've learnt from it a lot. Thanks for your help.
