November 5, 2012do you have more than four primary partitions?
hard disks configured as basic disks are limited to 4 primary partitions or 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partition and multiple logical drives.

November 6, 2012Also, make sure you are reading the units correctly. Many times when formatting a drive, there will be a small amount of space that ends up being unused primarily due to the physical drive characteristics or the way space is calculated by the operating system. Winodws tends to leave small 100-200 MB chunks of free space at the end of the hard drives due to this and those partitions are too small to be formatted as NTFS partitions.

November 6, 2012Are you attempting to use all your drives free space for new partition? Your boot drive should have at least 10GB free space.

November 6, 2012You might already have 4 volumes.
Try EaseUS partition master to resize or move your existing partitions, making space for your new partition and creating a new one.

November 6, 2012What you mean about simple vlolume?
A new partition? Because people never use simple volume before.

November 6, 2012You can have 3 primary partitions and one extended. Within that extended partition you can have as many (within reason) logical partitions as you require.
As an example I have a 1.5TB drive with 1 primary, and 7 logical partitions.
