Here it can be seen that the first partition table maintains information about the primary
and extended partitions. The second partition table similarly stores information about a
logical and a extended partition within the previous extended partition. Similarly for each
such extended partition there will be a partition table that stores information about the
logical partition and may also contain information about any further extended partition.
In this way the partition tables form a chain as depicted in the slide below. The last
partition table within the chain contains just a single entry signifying the logical drive.
First Partition
System ID = 0c = Windows FAT32 partition (LBA MApped)
first block = 3F
No. of blocks = 01388afc
end cylinder# = 1023
end sec # = 63 indicating a LBA disk
Second Partition
System ID = 0f = Extended windows partition
Start block (relative to the start) = 01388b3b = 20482875
No. of blocks = 0390620a = 59793930

Here is the information found in the partition table of first extended partition table which
implies another extended and a logical partition.
First Partition
System ID = 0b = Windows FAT32 partition
first block = 3 F
First block physical address = 3F + 01388b3b
No. of blocks = 01388afc
end cylinder# = 1023
end sec # = 63 indicating a LBA disk
Second Partition
System ID = 05 = Extended DOS partition
Start block (relative to the start) = 01388b3b = 20482875
Start block (physical ) = 01388b3b + 01388b3b = 2711676H = 40965 750
No. of blocks = 01388b3b = 20482875
