I can't recall who called my attention to my error but it was my error, 
though I consider a technicality. :-) A small chunk of  unallocated space 
looks like a partition on the PM graph. :-) But of course it could  be used 
to create several partitions.

> Unallocated is  is just unused and unable to be used space

I don't think that unallocated means unusable, just not YET allocated. The 
7.5 Meg one in question is unusable, the error that PM gives is that you 
can't have more than 4 primary partitions.

I just discovered a hard drive with no 7.5 M unallocated space. it's on my 
Gateway computer.

I give up, I used the wrong term, laziness more than anything else, it was 
easier than writing 'unallocated space'.
