Actually, in my experience, what NT based versions of Windows want is to be able to write a bootloader to a primary partition, which must therefore be some variant of FAT or NTFS (or presumably HPFS in some ancient cases). The rest can go on a logical partition, and the NT install program will automatically set up an extended partition with a logical partition rather than have another primary partition on the same disk.
