Your machine disk is formated with msdos partition type, which only supports 4 normal partitions.

If all of 4 partition number are in use, no more partition cannot be created.
So you need to remove a real partition first.

DO BACKUP your data first!!

Click "Advanced" button on top of page to switch to AdvancedPartitionPage, Delete 4th partition and create a new one, set mount point of this new partition to "/".
