If you're only using 4 partitions, on an IDE drive connected to a system
with typical DOS-like BIOS limitations, then you *can* use hda1 through
to hda4 as primary partitions.  If you were using more than four
partitions, *THEN* you could only have three primary partitions, and
hda4 would be an extended partition container.
