PC disk configuration

Disk 1 (SAMSUNG SV2044D)
====
/dev /hda
/dev/hda1 vfat 1 64
/dev/hda2 65 1334
/dev/hda5 vfat 65 1212
/dev/hda6 vfat 1213 1334
/dev/hda3 ntfs 1335 1844
/dev/hda4 ext3 1845 2481 <------Fedora core 3 installed here
Description of disk configuration: there are three Primary partitions (hda1,hda3,hda4) and one extended partition (hda5,hda6). Partitions hda3,hda4 defined AFTER extende partition.
Primary and extended partitions defined under W98 with FDISK and the other ppartions defined under XP.
Disk 2 (Maxtor 92041U4) ==== dev/hdc dev/hdc1 vfat 1 1785 dev/hdc2 swap 1786 1912 free space 1913 2482
Problem work around
===============
When installing Linux on the second disk in the free space available, it works. It works also, in defining on Disk1 (the disk that fails with the above configuration) a primary partition and an extended partition with all logical disks inside this extended partition (vg when no primary partitions are defined after the extended partition).
