I think it depend on what sort of partions they are, And I think you can only have 4 (Primary?) partions on a drive.

There is also the complication of how many bytes are in a G./M, is it 1000 or 1024, but if it is saying there is some free space, then I imagine it's the 4 partition problem.

I take it that it's a nominal 300Gb drive, (base 1000), which is displaying in windows as 273.24?

I think you need to convert one of the partitions to an Extended partiton, which you can then add logical parttions inside that.

Unfortunatly, it still wont include your unpartioned space.

I think that you might be able to extend the last partition to use the free space, then convert it....
