you are allowed up to 4 Primary partitions per physical HDD (each would appear as a "drive" in my computer \ windows explorer)
or
3 Primary Partitions and one extended partition, with additional logical drives (also seen as "drives")

but be careful to never delete the Primary partition its an extention of,
it and all the logicals are dependent on it.
