Normal behaviour. The disk in question is a dynamic disk as created by Windows 2k/xp or later. You need to compile in windows dynamic disk (LDM) support into your kernel and then your disk's partitions will be recognised properly. Note AFAIK there are no tools in existence for Linux that will allow you to modify the dynamic disk partition layout.
