hmmm...I wanted to try and install some more OSes ...but fdisk and Partitionmagic both let me only have 4 partitions? How do I get around this?

I would think taht this was 4 primary partitions. What you need to do is create logical partitions. That way you can have loads :D

I think that's the scheme:
[1-st primary][2-nd primary][3-rd primary][4-th primary-extended (logical)(logical)(logical)...]
Note, you can have only one primary-extended.
