If you don't have any space that's not already allocated to a partition, you can't add a new one. You must have some unpartitioned space on the drive to do this. The easiest way to do that is add another hard drive.

Hi, you can try and shrink an existing partition to make it available for a new partition; Computer Management is capable of that. However, when used sectors are scattered everywhere, you will be out of luck, and most defragmenters tend to try and move data to get contiguous files without however moving them all to the low end of the partition (Partition Magic did it well, but does not run on Vista; IIRC the XP defragmenter did it well too; the dumbed down Vista version does not; most free defragmenters don't really help). What I did was shrink C: right away, before installing any software. :)
