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.
Yes, of course, I intentionally omitted mentioning logical partitions, for which one of the primaries has to be an extended partition. Ie, one of the primary partitions is labelled as "extended" and then divided in as many chunks as we want, which we name as "logical partitions". Still, the bios only sees 4 (AFAIK). All that is the "non trivial" mentioned in a previous message :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
