"In windows you can only have 2 partitions, 1 primary and 1 extended." <= that's not exact
"You can try mounting /dev/sdc4 with" <= NO!

    *  An extended partition is not formatted or assigned a drive letter.
    * It's essentially a container for logical drives that are formatted and assigned drive letters. Disk 0 and 1 contain extended partitions that have a green band surrounding the logical drives (discussed below) that have been created in the extended partition.

Extended partition came out for historical reasons. It can't be
considered as any other partition. Is just a container of partitions
