The MBR has only space for 4 partitions.
the table, yes When you define logical disk,
as your friend said, some structure is written into the first sector of this partition and these records produce the "chain" of logical partitions. Since MS SW shall see these partitions (at least as "unknown"), I guess it should still be true.
I see. One place, probably at the beginning of the extended partition. 16 partitions available, four bytes offset?? 64 bytes?? I should look at this more. If one use xfs as file system, no room is left (xfs begin at the partition very first sector, no rom for grub) and, for example /dev/sda4 * 10367 19457 73023457+ f W95 Etendu (LBA) /dev/sda5 10367 10628 2104483+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris abstract of my partition table, the first logical begins exactly at the first extended sector. Where are the metadata??
