The way I have my hard disk set up (using the MSDOS fdisk utility) is
C: is the primary partition. After the primary partition, there is an
extended partition. The extended partition contains 3 logical (sub)
partitions. MSDOS sees the logical partitions as D:, E:, and F:. With
this setup, the extended partition is just a container for the logical
partitions. So, the answer to your question is there is no entry
for the extended partition - it is replaced by its subpartitions.
