I have a hard drive partitioned as follows
80 gig primary 1 Win Xp PRO SP3
40 gig primary 2 Win XP 64 PRO SP2
18 gig primary 3 Linux 64 bit
102 gig secondary 4
the secondary is divided into 3 33 gig partitions for data an 1 2 gig
partiton as a linux swap.

---
Wins XP PRO and Linux 64 both see all the partitions correctly.
Window xp 64 sees the linux swap partition as primary partition.
At first I thought this was a major problem. But I then found Gpt (GUID
Partitioning)

____
Yet this is a MBR setup hard drive how is and why is Windows XP 64 seeing
this Extended swap partition as a Primary partition?

Win 64 sees the Linux swap partition which is at the end of the secondary
partition as primary partition. At first I thought there was a big problem
until I found out
