As far as I can see, and from what I understand it's a logical
partition, and it is perfectly legal!. Logical partitions are IDed as
what they are (In this case NTFS), exactly the same way as primary
partitions are. The very fact that it is "hda5" says that it is logical,
it doesn't need any further IDing!
