| yes, you only consumed two primary partitions ( minor 1 - primary 
| and minor 2 - extended) and you have two more left. use fdisk of 
| linux to add another primary partitions.

  i couldn't initially because the end point of minor 2 is already
  the end point of the whole disk. that's why i needed to pull it
  back to 12997.9, which i did, using parted. after which i used
  fdisk to add another primary.
