In my dell studio 1555 I inadvertently delete some registry files so through PC restore I have reinstall win 7 Home Premium .

I have got the problem in creating new Volume.

Before PC restore process I have already made 142 GB as "Free Space" and 146 GB in C:/ Drive of 320GB SATA HD.

Now the OS is in 146 GB partition.I made a shrink, to have 80 GB in C:/ Drive .

As a result an unallocated partition 66GB is formed between Drive(C) and Free space.

I tried to create a new simple volume out of 66GB, but after clicking Finish button at the end it shows
"You cannot create a new volume in this unallocated space because the disk already contains the maximum number of partitions".

After this surprisingly I have created two Logical partitions(50 GB & 52 GB) from the Free space leaving 40 GB.

Please help me how to create a primary partition out of unallocated 66.42 GB partition.

My disk Management show (as in order)
Healthy(OEM)-198 MB,
Recovery-9.12 GB,
OS(C)-80 GB,
unallocated-66.42 GB,
Drive(G)-50 GB,
Drive(H)-52GB,
Free space-40GB.

My system details:Dell studio 1555,windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit,core 2 duo T6600,320 GB SATA HD,3GB RAM.

You may have more luck using this. I did. It's more powerful.
