How is it incorrect? What needs to be fixed? My understanding is that the extended partition has a partition table set up with the first partition entry pointing to the logical partition, the second entry pointing to a partition table that exists immediately after the logical partition, and then the 3rd and 4th entries are not used. The second partition table is structed the same way, so you essentially have a linked list of extended partitions. (Unlike the MBR, there are no boot sectors associated with these partition tables.) -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty. Infinite precision begets infinite perfection. _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
