Unable to create new partition

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 that is a year old and just added 3 additional 1TB drives to the RAID-5 array. After waiting literally days for the array to expand and fully initialize. I was horrified to find that Windows 2008 see's 2 additional blocks of space instead of one, and the last block, which has almost all the space, won't allow me to make a partition at all.

I badly needed to add more space and don't understand why it won't let me. Can someone explain why, and what a better setup would be?
