Oh, thanks. parted -l lists "Partition Table: msdos". This has probably
been changed in my attempts to install openmandriva. How then can a get
it relabled to GPT?
Thanks,

Re: [OM Cooker] How to partition for dual boot Windows 8.1/OM Lx
2014.1 on UEFI computer. Hi, Ben.
I suppose, in this video the disk is partitioned using GPT which can
contain up to 128 (or even more) partitions without dividing them into
primary/extended/logical. If you cannot create another partition, you
probably have MBR partition table where only information about 4
partitions can be stored (that is, either 4 primary ones, or 1-3
primary plus 1 extended partition which in its turn can contain one or
more logical partitions). Though it would be strange: usually
Win8.1+UEFI systems are preinstalled with GPT partitioning...
Try running `parted -l' from console, it will tell you which partition
table type you have.
My problem is that windows 8.1 is 4 partitions. gparted will not let
me create another primary partition. If I remove and recreate the
windows DATA partition then my windows install is corrupted. Repairing
that removes any Linux install and back to same problem. How can I do
this? I'm using gparted in live mode of 2014.1 x86_64. This video from
rugyada shows someone who can create more than 4 primary partitions in
live mode with gparted.:

Why can't I do that?
