| Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 17,871 posts Florida in winter, Black Forest/Germany | 7 primary partitions on one drive On another forum I saw this disk management picture showing 7 primaries on one drive. Is that not a bit odd? The man double boots with Linux - maybe that did it. |

| Vista x64 / 7 X64 7,916 posts | Yes, I am not sure it is a bug. It is still present in 7. MS have no interest in helping with "non-standard" e.g. Linux volumes. As I posted above - it is normal for Vista/7 diskmgmt. |
