xp partitioning during instal

Is it true that the partitioning utility xp uses during instal can oly create 1 primary partition? I know that it's easy enough to leave the remaining space and set up partition later with disk manager, but would still like to know if there's a way of setting all the partitions you want during instal using utilities on xp cd and not 3rd party software.
btw what's the name of the utility, and where is it located on the install cd?

Create your first partition during installation, but do not hit the enter key but repeat the create partition process as many times as you want until either the desired number of partitions has been created.

Will it create another primary partition or logical drives?

if you want to make your own partitions use fdisk utility... there is a copy on all win98 bootdisks, maybe even the xp bootdisks or cd, but i havent checked. after you make it how you want just ignore the partitioning in the xp setup and instead pick a partition to install to
