    You can have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partition. An extended partition can be split into logical drives (no limit). But since you can only have 26 drive letters you would have to use NTFS mount points for any drives which could not be assigned letters, and since they then appear as folders you may as well just have folders in the first place.
    What if it's FAT32?
    It just won't assign a drive letter i guess?
