Ok here's what I get when I tried to partition my drives using vista. Lets start from the beginning :

Step 1 : As u can see there's 2 extra volume there and it seems strange to me cuz I didn't do anything, juz bought the laptop it's brand new



Step 2 : Started Shrinking....






Step 3 :




Step 4 : Now As u can see I've already shrinked the volume but no volume is created tho the unallocated space created below



Step 5 : Started to make new volume



Step 6 :




Step 7 :




Step 8 :



Step 9 : It's suppose to be the last part, A happy ending but unfortunately it's not.....




Step 10 : This is where the problem began just look at the image and u will understand




Step 11 : A beginning of a new end.....



So this is it....My story!! Any help with the (Highlighted and of course the total) problems would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks!!

I could be mistaken but If I remember correctly you can only have 4 partitions per physical disk in an MBR partition table, to have more than that you need to use GPT partition table which has a whole other set of headaches and setup problems. The only way for you to add another partition to that particular disk structure you need to remove the 2 EISA partitions which I wouldnt recomend doing because usually recovery and diagnostic software/applications are stored there by the manufacturer.

There must be an easy alternative than this but what is it??
Now my question is how can I add some more partition in my physical disk? And if I backup The 2 EISA partitions that still exists in my disk in dvd's, how can I remove/delete those 2 partitions??

You need to make extended partitions instead of primary partitions. Once you make an extended partition, then you can designate sections of it to act as new drive letters.
