I have not seen any tool, not even Partition Magic, that was able to convert a primary partition to an extended partition/logical drive. The only thing I can think of is to take PM, shrink the primary partition as small as it will go, create an extended partition and a logical drive in that partition, then copy everything from the primary to the logical, then delete the primary, resize the extended's left boundary to the full size, move the logical drive to the front of the drive, and finally extend the logical drive to full size. WHEW! It's still less time than backup/restore.
