I have just done this very thing in the past three days. You will not lose anything on the drives your are not splitting and/or formatting but if you delete the extended drive and then split, you will lose that drive letter and that will change the drive letters of the next drives in the hieriarchy (think I misspelled that). That did not make any difference to me but I have heard that it can affect usage of CD-ROMs, CD Writers, etc. I used command prompt fdisk and I also used Disk Management in Administrative Tools in Control Panel on WIN XP. I think Administrative Tools is easier.
