Could not allocate space for object

There is a Primary Filegroup with 5 datafiles and 2 logfiles. I'm trying to
add more datafiles, but the error "Server: Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2, Line
1" shows up.
I tried to create a new filegroup but the error message is the same. There
is disk space. Could someone help me ? Thanks !
Pre-allocate storage. Expand the size of the file. Don't rely on auto-grow (as you have just
noticed).

|||How can I pre-allocate storage. There is space on disk. I tried to create a
new data with 1Mb and no success.

bigger size for the file. If you want to use TSQL directly, check out ALTER DATABASE... MODIFY FILE.
