    your problem is you technicallly have 4 partitions, you have the 100MB system reserved partition which windows made for itself on installation, your windows partition, your data partition, and your OEM partition, which im guessing is for recovery, Windows will not allow you to create more than 4 Primary Partitions

    Use free Partition Wizard bootable CD to shrink your partitions as desired, then create new Logical partition(s) for data.

    If you need another Primary partition, you can delete the 200mb System Reserved partition recover the space into Win7 partition, mark Win7 active, then boot Win7 DVD to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times to write the MBR to Win7.
