This my first time trying to use Disk Management on XP pro to add a
partition on my NTFS basic disk, But I can not see any unallocated space (I
have 10% free) to right click on to run Partition wizard .

Unallocated space will be marked as such. If you cannd see any, then you
will need to use a 3rd-party disk management utility, such as Partition
Magic 8. One can only use Disk Management if the space is marked as
unallocated.
 
Simon;
Unallocated is just that not allocated to any drive.
Unused on the other is allocated to a drive, in this case, probably C.

Since you do not have any unallocated space, you can not use Disk
Management to allocate space.

If you are at 10% free, you may need to start thinking about getting
another hard drive or at least uninstall some applications and/or
delete data.
