I dont understand why is it really a problem.

On old disks, and I dont know the real reasons, you only have 4 primary
partitions.
The other partitions over those 4 are "logical" ones.

Logical partitions are hda5+ 

When you created 4 primary partitions, the system automatically create
the 4th one as extended and places the other partitions are hda5+.
