Okay so it's not so simple. Some computers come with 4 primary partitions already setup (e.g. some HP computers). And that's the max number you can have. In order to create more partitions, you'd have to delete one of those primary partitions, and then create an extended partition in its place. An extended partition is also a primary partition, but you can create many logical partitions within an extended partition.
So I'm really bad at reading fdisk output
but it looks like you have a boot partition 200MB, a main windows partition 734GB, a 15GB restore partition, and a 100MB tools partition. Even if you deleted one of those (only /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda4 are candidates) you'd still need to take some space from /dev/sda2 i.e. shrink it. There's a
nice post by lesliek earlier in this thread about how to do this for an HP computer.
If you don't have the stomach for that you could migrate to an external drive.
Hope that helps!
