For this purpose you have to have unlocated space. Then in "Computer Management->Disk Management", right click, create exteneded partion. And in the extended partion you will be able to create a logical partion(s).
60 Logical partitions can be created. Only 26 are reachable in Windows Due to the number of letters in thealphabet.
On MBR partitioned hard-drives only 4 primary partition can be created. (Use extended and logical partitions to create more partitions).
The computer management feature in Windows can be used to partition a drive and create logical drives within these partitions. There are also commercial and non-commercial programs available for the same purpose.

A basic disk contains 3 logical partitions, but only one of them can be the primary partition. This is only if the system has enough free space.

there are two types of partitions in the hard disk is primary and logical.
Primary Partitions are logical areas on Coputer storage devices that have direct reference in Master Boot Record. (Due to limitation imposed by MBR only four primary partitions can be created). While Extended partitions refer to logical areas created out of need for more than four Partitions.

No. Windows is pretty much the only operating system that cares about primary vs. logical partitions when it comes to booting. Linux will happily live in logical partitions. That being said, with UEFI becoming that standard, logical vs. primary partitions aren't even going to be concepts anymore, as the GPT scheme doesn't limit partition counts the same way as MBR, allowing hundreds of primary partitions, way more than even highly specialized applications would ever need.
primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives.
