I'd guess that you've hit the limit on the number of partitions you can have
on a single disk. The partition table has space enough for four entries and
you can either have them all as primary partition entries or you can have
three primary partitions and one extended partition containing logical drives.
You currently have the two primary partitions you mention containing Win95 and
OS/2 and then you have the primary partition you don't mention containing Boot
Manager. The remaining partition table entry is used for the extended
partition.
