Can Not add new data file to the primary File group- SQL Server 20

Hi All
I am trying to add a new data file (7th one) to a database on SQL Server
2005
The existing 6th file has autogowth set to grow by 100 MB
When I try to add 7th file to make it autogow by 100 MB on a drive which
more than 300 GB I get the following error
Could not allocate space for object 'sys.sysfiles1'.'sysfiles1' in database
'SomeDb' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by
deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional
files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the
filegroup.
I tried using T-SQL and also management studio I get the same error
Any advises will be appreciated.
Thanks
KiranAutogrowth is set to 100MB but how about Restricted File Growth?
I think it is set to Restricted File Growth = some_value
Please check out your Database's Properties and Files from options and check
if above mentioned value is set correctly or not.

FYI, I see space available under database properties when viewed from
management studio is 0 bytes
Is this preventing addition of new files ? ( Just a guess?)
Thanks
