[NCARC] A new Disk

[N0WIQ]

Hi People,

For years I have been using fdisk to partition a new hard drive for a 
new install of an operating system.  I have been making 3 primary 
extensions an extended partition and some N extended partitions.  I have 
never learned of a maximum number of extended partitions.  I realize 
this has been a working way to set up a disk for use but is it the best 
way?  How many extended partitions may I create?
