Labeling of partitions unclear

Hi all -

in my WinXP-Home system there are 3 hard discs.
Grub starts WinXP, Linux and Win98SE where Win98SE sits in the primary
partition of the third disc.
The third disc contains 2 partitions: 1 primary, 1 logical, labeled in
Grub as hd2,0 and hd2,4.

This third small disc was now changed by a 400GB disc again partitioned
in 2 partitions, 1 primary and 1 logical, but the primary partition is now labeled hdc3 (not hdc1 ?) or in Grub as hd2,2 (not hd2,0 ?) which I
recognized when Win98SE did not start. Thus, I had to change this
additinally in Grub.

How can this labeling occur?
Partioning had been done by Acronis Partition Expert under WinXP.
