Limite máximo de Partições

[van_Zeller]

Boas,

Tenho dois sistemas operativos no PC, por isso ter umas quantas partições dá-me jeito. No entanto, li algures que não dá para ter mais que 4 partições. De facto, a utilidade do XP para fazer partições e assim (disk manager) não me deixa fazer mais de 4! Alguém me pode confirmar isto, ou pelo menos explicar a situação?

Obrigado

Limite de 4 para partições primárias!

A partition, sometimes also called a volume, is an area on a hard disk that can be formatted with a file system and identified with a letter of the alphabet. For example, drive C on most Windows computers is a partition.
In this version of Windows, when you use Disk Management, a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, to create partitions on a basic disk, the first three partitions you create are primary partitions. These can be used to start an operating system. If you want to create more than three partitions, the fourth partition is created as an extended partition.
An extended partition is a way to get around a limit on the number of primary partitions a basic disk can have. An extended partition is a container that can hold one or more logical drives. Logical drives function like primary partitions except that they cannot be used to start an operating system.
A hard disk needs to be partitioned and formatted before you can store data on it. Many computers are partitioned as a single partition that equals the size of the hard disk. Partitioning a hard disk into several smaller partitions is not required, but it can be useful for organizing data on your hard disk. Some users prefer to have separate partitions for the Windows operating system files, programs, and personal data.
