Note : My total hard disk size is 10 GB i installed in VMWARE

Your disk is full, you can't create more slices.

The backup slice 2 is designed to cover the entire disk and is not to be used for filesystems, etc. All other slices must not overlap each other or data loss is waiting to happen.

If you are running under VMware, just create another virtual disk and create a new slice there.
