YaST prompts you to select the type of partition when you ask it to
create a new partition, i.e. primary, extended or a logical drive.
If it doesn't, it means that the disk is already fully partitioned, i.e.
4 primary partitions and you will have to delete one of them and create
an extended partition if you want more than four partitions on the
drive.
