You simply can not create a single partition more when you have four primary partitions already, period.
In slang or without your "period", yes. Otherwise, it's not that simple, so not exactly. Every table entry in a BIOS disk MBR, regardless of type, is a primary. That includes an Extended. A partition is a "primary" precisely _because_ it's defined by an entry in an MBR table. More precisely, one cannot add another partition to a BIOS/MBR disk if 4 primaries already exist thereon, and none of those that exist is a valid Extended. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
