My mistake, did you use Win fdisk or Linux to delete the partitions ?. What's Linux fdisk say about the extended partition and the 3 virtual partitions ?.
Did you use Mdk DiskDrake expert mode ?. You say you are unable to extend the extended partition to include other virtual partitions ?. If read you correctly you cannot change the extended partition size with virtual partitions in it with fdisk!. I would delete the all the virtual and the extended partition (if you have nothing in them) with Linux's fdisk, then put them in again with Linux. That's all i can think of for now.
