Friends, sometimes we get to see some errors while doing some tasks in Windows OS, and it happens almost very often when we have to google to understand these errors, today we are going to talk about such an error which comes when you create a new partition from an unallocated space.

So Basically as you all know, a partition on a hard disk can be used to store multiple files, such as pictures, videos, docs, etc. You can partition your hard drive into a few drives for different types of files so that they can be easily separated.

But sometimes when you create a new volume from an unallocated space with Windows Disk Management tool, Windows may give you an error message that is “You cannot create a new volume in this unallocated space because the disk already contains the maximum number of partitions”.

Fix :- You cannot create a New volume in this Unallocated space because the Disk already contains the Maximum Number of Partitions

Usually this error comes in MBR disk. Because on an MBR disk, you can create up to four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and one extended partition.

In MBR Disk If the number of partitions has reached the limit of three primary partitions and one extended partition, you may see this error in your computer.
