| In the main disk management window:
|
| Layout = partition
| Type = Basic
| File system = NTFS
| Status = Healthy
| Capacity = 27.94GB
| Free Space = 22.02GB
| Free = 78%

| If i right click on the disk image of disk 0 and select properties it
shows
| unallocated space = 0MB (interesting)
|
| I take it this is the reason i cannot create a new partition is there no
| unallocated space to give a new partition?
