x86 disks can't have more than 4 primary partitions.  In order to have 
more partitions you have to make one of your primary partitions an 
extended partition.  The extended partition can hold within it multiple 
logical partitions.  Since you're at 4 primary partitions, you are 
unable to make any more.  Change one to an extended partition (that 
takes up the rest of the disk) and create the rest of your needed 
partition as logical partitions.
