VDS_E_PARTITION_LIMIT_REACHED

VDS_E_PARTITION_LIMIT_REACHED means that no additional partition can be created on the selected disk under its current layout. The practical limit depends on the partition style and existing arrangement, so the safe response is to inspect the layout before planning a structural change.

What to check

Inspect the disk partition style and the complete partition inventory, including hidden and recovery partitions.
Confirm that the automation did not create duplicate or abandoned partitions during earlier retries.
Plan any consolidation or repartitioning only after a backup and an explicit review of boot, recovery, and data partitions.
