Hello. On my son's PC recently, when it had crashed and we had to
restore it, I noticed that it had two extended partitions on it. I
didn't think that was possible. Is it?

Thanks.

Are you sure the "Extended partitions" aren't just virtual partitions
(i.e. Logical Drives) within one Extended partition? Disk Management,
I believe, displays Logical Drives as if they were separate Extended
partitions (i.e with a blue band at the top in the GUI representation).

You can have up to 4 extended partitions. Many OSes can only
deal with one though. Maybe you mean logical partitions, i.e.
partitions inside an extended one?

Microsoft says there can be one extended partition.
