| | If you need more than 4 partitions you have to create everything past #3 as logical partition in an extended partition. Read Me -DG |

| | After doing all that on a 150 gig hard drive each partition would be very small. If it was my computer I would install a bigger hard drive if one will fit in there. You could also get a external hard drive of size and partition it. |

| | Have read that some folks have used Disk Utility to FORCE the creation of a fifth (and more) partitions -- but doing so also forces the conversion of the partitions into Dynamic Disks -- something you do NOT want to do. |

| | For a 150 GB hard disk, two partitions are ideal. First one for OS and second one for data. |

| | You shouldn't have any reason for needing that many partitions on a single disk. Personally, I never go above two. |
