FDISK Logical Partition

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2478 / 3 Years ago, sun, november 14, 2021, 6:41:42

I have tried to create a logical partition via Fdisk for a flash drive. The problem is that I choose the option -n to create a partition, of course , and fdisk gives me only two options "extended and primary". However, I want an option for logical partitions. Moreover, in a topic in the forum, a guy is able to choose logical partition option instead of extended.

In order to create a Logical partition, you must first create an Extended "partition". As stated in the forum post, an Extended partition is just a container, not an actual partition. This Extended container is what contains the Logical partitions.
