Careful, there is a limit on on logical partitions, too.
You are allowed 4 primary partitions, or
3 primary partitions + 1 extended partion. The extended
partion is a container partion for logical partitions and,
as such, not usable for storage. Within the extended partition
you may create up to 12 logical partitions.
So, 15 usable parts. are all you'll get.
Unless of course I'm wrong.
