that can only hold three primary partitions ... 

to add a fourth one you'd have to delete one and create a logical
partition to hold the others ... though the only one you could delete
without data loss would be the 1.9GB without filesystem on it that you
for whatever reason did put at the start of the device. 
that will be a tricky data shuffling exercise ...

use a GPT partition table next time, that is less limited and allows
more primary partitions ...
