AFAIK, for Windows you do not have much choice bedises
extended partitions as it does not know how to handle several

Say what? Windows accommodates up to 4 Primary partitions
on a single hard disk, or one to three Primaries plus one Extended.
The Extended partitions may have "many" logical drives - up to 24
according to PCGuide:

Well, then thi has finally be fixed. It was an issue for years
and I frankly did not try it again after it failed way back.
