Hm, I don't consider extended partitions as primary ones but as extended |
| 13 |
ones. When I need more than four partitions, I create three primary |
| 14 |
ones, an extended one and logical ones within the extended one. Why |
| 15 |
would I do that any other way? |

You cannot have a primary partition that covers the entire disk and then |

some. |
