Perhaps who misunderstand how formating works. Your *primary* partitions
will be in hda1, hda2, hda3, hda4. *Logical* partitions start from hda5
and onwards. Most likely you first partition is primary partition 1
(hda1), and your second partition is an *extended* partition. Within
the extended partition, your *logical* partitions will start from hda5,
and so on...
