how to do it ?
I need to create something like 16 partitions on a disk.

you may create up to 4 slices if you use slices at all (i don't)

on each you can make 7 partitions (8-one for c)

but each partition CAN be partitioned again. so you can make any number of partitions.

example of my home system (lots of DVD-sized partitions to make backups easy)
