I don't really think you can install 4 or more OSs on a
harddrive.
http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/libata-gt15partitions.txt shows considerably more are
possible even using libata. It has 12 installed, plus, not counting the
extended itself, 7 partitions that have no installed operating systems.
A harddisk can have either 4 primary partitions or 3 primarys and 1
extended. I suppose the most stable configuration you might get is one
primary for each OS,
Stable? What does that mean? Modern operating systems, once booted, make no
distinction between primaries and non-primaries - all are treated equally as
logical, as any partition at all is nothing more than an artificial (logical)
division of a physical device.
