MS labels partitions by first labeling all primary partitions, starting
with the first (80) disk and going up to each higher disk. It then
labels secondary partition, again starting on the first disk and going
up. It will label the partition as long as it recognizes the partition
format type. Thus and ext2 partition is not counted.
