unable to partition unallocated space

[Kristoffer]

Hi I have 2 disks installed in the computer.
On the first one I have 3 NTFS partitions
On the second one I have 3 linux partitions, 1 ntfs
partition and lots of unallocated space left.
I would now like to partition the unallocated space to a
ntfs drive, but when i open the disk manager and try to
right click on the unallocated space, the "create
partition" is greyd out. I cant partition the space and
therefore i cant use it. Anyone who knows what the problem
might be?

You can only have 4 primary partitions. If you need more you must use
an extended partition and have in it logical drives.
