Primary Partitions are logical areas on Coputer storage devices that have direct reference in Master Boot Record. (Due to limitation imposed by MBR only four primary partitions can be created).
While Extended partitions refer to logical areas created out of need for more than four Partitions.

What is the difference between steel and stainless steel?
While stainless steel is an alloy of steel, the primary difference between stainless steel and other steels is that the stainless steels have a high percentage (about 10% or even more) of the element chromium in them.
What is the difference between fault-tolerant and load-balancing in tibco bisiness works?
Load balancing is done between 2 or more servers where the load is distributed between servers. whereas, fault tolerance is done between 2 servers where one server acts as a primary and the second server acts as a back up server for the primary server. In case of failure of primary server, the second server(back up server) becomes the primary server.
What is difference betweena step up transformer and step down transformer?
The difference between the two transformers is the coil ratios between the primary and secondary windings. A transformer that increases voltage from primary to secondary has more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns and is called a step-up transformer. Conversely, a transformer with fewer secondary windings does just the opposite and is called a step-down transformer.
In ship construction what is the difference between transverse and longitudinal framing?
If the primary stiffners of the hull is in transverse direction, that design is called transverse framing. and If the primary stiffners of the hull is in longitudinal direction, that is called longitudinally framed ship
How many extended partitions can be created in a hard drive?
Ther can only be one Extended Partition per hard drive
Which storage method employs primary and extended partitions?
Basic
Why would you use extended partitions instead of addtional primary partitions?
There's a limit to the number of primary partitions per drive, 4. In order to get more than 4 drives out of one (if this takes your fancy) then you use an extended partition. To a low level program which doesnt speak fluent windows, everything on your extended partition appear as a single drive. Other than this their is no real advantage to extended partitions over primary partitions, but at windows level no significant disadvantage either
How many primary partition can create?
On MBR partitioned hard-drives only 4 primary partition can be created. (Use extended and logical partitions to create more partitions).
How many partitions can be created on a given harddisk?
4 ----- Dhyan Tripathi You can have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary partitions and one extended partition containing any number of logical partitions. While you can assign a drive letter to a partition, you can also map it as
Identify and describe three basic disk storage types you can allocate in Windows XP?
primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives.
Why might you use the Extend Disk Partition option?
Typically you can only have 4 primary partitions per hard drive if you are using the MBR partition layout scheme. If you need more partitions than the maximum allowed (4), then there is a way to get many more partitions with only one hard drive.By creating an extended partition you can have as many logical partitions as you need within that extended partition, thus you can have more than only four partitions. You can have 3 primary partitions and one extended partition (for a total of 4), and inside the extended partition you can have as many logical partitions as you need.The one thing to keep in mind is that any type of Windows Operating System needs to be installed in a primary partition, otherwise you cannot boot into it. Windows XP in particular, needs to be installed in the first primary partition. For everything else, you can create as many logical partitions as you want inside the extended partition.
How many maximum different filesystems can be defined on a disk with four partitions?
Assuming one of them is an extended partition on an MS-DOS partition table: Eight. If the partitions are all primary partitions: Four.
How many partitions can you have on a Windows Basic disk?
In Windows Server 2008, a physical drive using MBR partition style can have up to four primary partitions and one extended partition.
WHICH ONE OF THESE TYPES DESCRIBES HARD DRIVE PARTITIOND THAT ARE ACCESSED DIRECTLY BY THE OPERATING SYSTEM?
Hard drive partitions that are accessed directly by the operating system are typically referred to as "primary partitions." These partitions can contain a file system and are directly addressable by the OS, allowing it to read and write data. In contrast, logical partitions, which reside within an extended partition, are accessed through the primary partition.
How many total partitions can a standard computer computer disk ide and sata?
Due to limitations imposed by DOS back in the '80s, ATA (the proper name for ide) and SATA drives can only hold 4 partitions. To work around this, extended partitions were invented. Extended partitions can hold 4 more partitions, any of which can be more extended partitions. Thus the number of partitions is effectively limited by the size of the disk. These limitations aren't imposed by the disk itself, rather the PC architecture. Intel macs, which don't need to maintain compatibility with DOS or old versions of windows use EFI, which allows for 128 primary partitions.
