The win8 partition prompts "The disk already contains the maximum number of partitions" What should I do?

When the main partition has been created 3, the extended partition has been created, and then continue to divide (black part in the picture) ) will prompt “ can not create a new volume in this allocation space, because the disk already contains the maximum number of partitions & rdquo;.




1, first find a logical drive partition closest to the unallocated space, select the right button "delete volume", then it will become a green extended partition, right click again to delete , it will turn black into an unallocated portion and merge with the previous unallocated.

2, then the two parts are merged into one big undivided.

3. Right-click again to select the new simple volume. Note that when you fill in the partition size you need to divide, do not fill in all the fields, and fill in the size of the area you want to divide. This will automatically divide the extended partition and logical partition.

4. After the completion, you can see that the remaining green part (extended partition) can still continue to divide the partition. There is no limit in this part, you can divide the desired number of partitions. The method is to right-click to create a simple volume.
