Hi


Normally (MBR) you are allowed upto 4 Primary partitions or upto 3 primary partitions + extended partition containing a number of logical partitions

[not sure of number of logical partitions probably linked to number of letters C: D: E: then f: to x: (need y: & z: for CD & usb devices)]

If you have Vista or 7 there is probably a small boot partition of 100MB with no drive letter allocated.
and or a recovery partition without a drive letter

without knowing which operating system and seeing description or picture what you have in Disk Management I cannot advise further.

No.. i cant delete that volume..only have new simple volume option...and after following those steps it shows an error "There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation"
