Extended (Partition) (Computer Virus) 
An extended partition is a primary partition that was originally developed in order to overcome the four-primary-partition limit. The extended partition is a container, or a place-holder, for logical partitions. The extended partition itself does not contain any data, nor does it receive a drive letter assignment. It can contain any number of logical partitions, and each logical partition receives a drive letter assignment, as long as the logical partition is recognized by the operating system.
