Drew, I'm a bit concerned that such a big change is coming in at the end of our discussion. As I understand it, the way this is meant to work is that the partition name is used to identify whether a partition is logical or primary, ie 1-4 = primary; 5-36 = logical. And there can only be one extended partition per disk, so it is always possible to determine which extended partition the logical partitions belong to.
So, what does that mean for (extended) partition validation? Does it effectively mean that the following rules need to be in place (in addition to those previously stated in an earlier email): - A partition marked with an id of 15 (extended) must have a partition number 1-4 - At most one partition with an id of 15 MAY exist on a given disk - When partition number 5-36 are specified, there MUST exist a partition numbered 1-4 with a partition id of 15 (extended) Anything else?
