Put partition inside an extended partition, possible?

[Bird222]

I got a feeling this isn't doable but I thought I'd ask. Can you take a primary partition and put it inside an extended partition (presumably make it logical aswell)? Another similar question, can you create an extended partition around a primary partition?

No. You can't. What are you trying to accomplish? If you need lots of root level partitions I might suggest using GPT instead of MBR.

What makes a partition primary is that it is defined directly in the MBR. Logical partitions are not.
