I am new to XP and someone have told me that there are maximum 4 primary
partitions OR 3 primary partitions + any number of extended partitions no
matter how many HD I have.
I would like to know
1) What is the difference between Primary and Extended Partitions ?
2) If it is just for boot up, we can have 1 Primary Partitions + any number
of Extended Partitions. Why do we bother to have more than 1 Primary
Partitions ? There must be some advantage of Primary Partition than
Extended Partition ?
3) Does Linux System also support the same number of Primary and Extended
Partitions as XP ? If YES, which factor determines the number of primary
and extended partitions ? Is it the HD ?
Thanks
