CompTIA A+ 220-1102 (V14) Practice Question

On a disk using the Master Boot Record (MBR) scheme, a maximum of four primary partitions are allowed. To create more than four volumes, one of the four available partition slots must be used to create an extended partition. This extended partition then acts as a container within which multiple logical partitions (volumes) can be created. Since the technician has already used three primary partition slots and needs two more volumes, the next step must be to create an extended partition in the last available slot. After that, the two required logical partitions can be created inside the extended partition. Creating another primary partition would use the last slot, allowing for only one more volume in total. A logical partition cannot be created directly; it must reside within an extended partition. Converting to GPT is a different partitioning scheme entirely and not what the scenario requires.
