I posted a writeup on this list a while ago; check the archives.

Several of the responses in this thread are incorrect. You can have zero
to four extended partitions in the MBR. How deep you can nest extended
partitions is up to the operating system that interprets the data and the
version of fdisk that writes it. I believe Mess-DOS can only go one deep,
so you can only get 16 partitions with Mess-DOS.
