[Ham-Computers] Maximum Number of Primary Partitions

[Dale Miller]

Yes the Extended Partition is counted as a primary partition.
You can get around the 4 primary partitions with a boot loader.
But you can only have 4 primary partitions visible at a time.
One good boot loader is XOSL http://www.ranish.com/part/xosl.htm
