The master boot record limits the amount of partitions that may be placed on a hard disk. A maximum of 4 partitions are allowed.

It would appear from your screen shot that you have more partitions than 4 on your disk.

That's great news. It looks like you have some unallocated space at the far right that you may be able extend the H: partition into to add it back to the H partition.
