Comment (by Anarchos):

 According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record)
 : « The partition type of an extended partition is 0x05 (CHS addressing)
 or 0x0F (LBA addressing).»
 And
 «Similar, Linux supports the concept of a second extended partition chain
 with type 0x85 — this type is hidden (unknown) for other operating systems
 supporting only one chain.»

 So i think we should add 0x05 and 0x85 to the extended partition types.
