if you at present have Four Primary Partitions, then you cannot create more Partitions.

you can merge the unallocated space to other Partitions though.

for Merging use Paragon Partition Manager 2005. (free full version s/w)

You should have created Extended Partitions.

i think next time when you Format a Partition, create one as Extended...

for best results... keep one partition as primary.. one as extended... and the rest as logical partitions within the extended space...
