+1 Partition - Is it safe?
Hi there



I have , after many hours of hard work, managed to install both Windows XP and Ubuntu on my iMac( by following this this guide) and I have rEFIt as my boot manager.I have one harddrive which is 750G and it's partition looks like this:

Macintosh:~ ballena$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *698.6 Gi disk0
1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 599.9 Gi disk0s2
3: Microsoft Basic Data 27.9 Gi disk0s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data Windows 70.4 Gi disk0s4

As you can see I have two partition but I want one more jHFS+ partition where I can save all my personal files. But I have heard that you only can have 4 partition on the same HDD. Is that true? Will Windows or ubuntu stop working if I resixe my Apple_HFS_Macintosh_HD partition and make another one? Because Windows stop working once when I added a new partition - but this was when I installed Windows with Boot Camp only and made the partition with the BC-tool. which I haven't now.

So dare I make another partition from mac Mac-partition or not? I appreciate any help I can get with this.
