Vista disk management to format and partition?

I formatted and partitioned a new WD250gig SATAII drive through the Vista's disk management option. I set up 4 partitions each roughly 60gigs. The first 3 partitions got identified as primary partitions and the fourth identified as a logical drive. Never used Disk management to do such on a drive I have always done from command prompt outside of windows and never saw more than one primary partition. Should I worry about this and do it over the old fashioned way?
 
You're allowed 4 primary partitions, Disk Management obviously used the 4th to create an extended partition and put the 4th partiton that you wanted created as logicall inside of there. All of that partitioning is usually a huge waste of time, but there's nothing technically wrong with your setup.
