Kevin,

If I had to guess at this time, I'd say that you created 4 primary
partitions on your new disk.  And I am given to believe that you cannot
create any more of them.

Had you wanted to create more drives, you would have to create a logical
partition large enough to hold several logical partitions within.

But its just a guess based on what you have shared with us thus far.

Regards,
-Mark
