That explains why linux wants everything to look like scsi - its the worst possible choice! :-). I could have just fit all the partitions I wanted in if the Windows installer would have let me make 3 physical partitions, but it just makes one, then puts the rest in logical partitions, thus using up two partition table slots with nothing in them. Oh well, I would have gotten impatient before installing 7 operating systems anyway :-). (When I tried to make the partitions with fdisk, Windows pukes and refuses to install - so I had to let Windows do the partitioning).
