Hi, Ben.
I suppose, in this video the disk is partitioned using GPT which can contain up
to 128 (or even more) partitions without dividing them into
primary/extended/logical. If you cannot create another partition, you probably
have MBR partition table where only information about 4 partitions can be
stored (that is, either 4 primary ones, or 1-3 primary plus 1 extended
partition which in its turn can contain one or more logical partitions). Though
it would be strange: usually Win8.1+UEFI systems are preinstalled with GPT
partitioning...
Try running `parted -l' from console, it will tell you which partition table
type you have.
My problem is that windows 8.1 is 4 partitions. gparted will not let me create
another primary partition. If I remove and recreate the windows DATA partition
then my windows install is corrupted. Repairing that removes any Linux install
and back to same problem. How can I do this? I'm using gparted in live mode of
2014.1 x86_64. This video from rugyada shows someone who can create more than 4
primary partitions in live mode with gparted.:

Why can't I do that?
