■ Primary partition: Because hard disks are limited
to four primary partitions, select this type if the

■ Logical partition: Select this type if you need more
than four partitions. You can have up to three
primary partitions, plus any number of logical
partitions, up to the maximum size of your hard
disk.

forth).

drive.
