four "usable" partitions my not be possible. Within Windows any individual drive, or logical drive, can only be partitioned up to 4 times..four seperate partitions per drive or logical drive..

In a nutshell, If I have two physical hard drives, not in a raid, I can have up to 8 partitions.

However, most Dells already come with a recovery partition and oem partition..plus one partition for the os drive..so on a typical Dell computers, with a single drive, there is already three partitions.
