Seems that the partitions you've created and are creating are all primary
ones. You should know there is a maximum number of primary partitions on a 
disk (three, I think). You can create up to four partitions on a disk: up 
to three primary of which only one can be visible at a time and one 
extended. Then you can divide the extended partition into logical 
partitions.

What you see in you programs are the currently active primary partition and
the logical partitions. The existence of the extended partition is
transparent, you could say.

Hope it helps.
