It depends on your model of Mac. Macs prior to Late 2013 are preUEFI models and use a Hybrid MBR which limits the number of partitions on disk to be four(4). It is possible to create custom Hybrid MBRs but they are dangerous and liable to break with Apple Software Upgrades.


UEFI macs allow Windows on a GPT partition, and do not require a Hybrid MBR. This allows multiple OSes to coexist on GPT-only disks.
