When ever  I use  fdisk , and choose option n ( to add a partition ) , it
gives an error message saying that I need extended partition or I need to
delete old partition to create a new one .

But I have 40 GB of un used space on my hard drive.

You can only have 4 partitions per disk. If you want more than that, you need to make one of them extended (and yes you will loose all data on that partition).
