The limit is 4 *primary* partitions.  The above has *two* primaries, one
labelled C: and the other is an extended partition containing numerous logical 
drives.  The limit on logical drives is simply the letters of the alphabet
(for drive designations) left over after all the primary partitions have been
assigned.  That is true for DOS, all flavors of Windows and OS/2.
