Hmm, I don't know how cfdisk works very accurately, but I'm assuming you
have a Primary partition, then some Free Space, then an Extended partition
which contains 3 Logical partitions (your Linux partitions), and then free
space outside the Logical partition.

I'd recommend finding somebody with Partition Magic.  I use the second
latest version, not the Windows GUI 'oh great' version, the DOS GUI
version.

This will allow you to 'move' the Extended partition to the end of the
drive, which will in turn move all the Free Space together.

And your e-mail address is buggered, please fix :)
