Max Partitions

I have a PC that has two 250 GB Hard Drives and I'm debating on how to
set up the PC. I have a few options in mind, but I have a question I
could not find the answer for anywhere else:

I know that you are allowed a maximum of four partitions (4 Primary or
3 Primary and 1 Extended) on your Primary HD, but I could not find any
information regarding limitations in relation to the secondary HD.

Can anyone provide some insight for me?

Thanks!
 
Hi

Max on disk 0 is 3 primary + one extended, which can then be partitioned
into as many partitions as you like. Secondary - as I have it here - is set
up the same as disk 0 - 3 primary drives + extended.
