That's absolutely okay. hda5 is a locical partition defined within
the extended partion hda2. This is because there are only 4 slots in
the partition table. Therefor one of these partition can be defined
as extended with an own partition table and potentially 59 partition
within (hda5...hda63) if there are no other limitation as defined by
MS.
