ntfs partition created inside extended partition not seen by udisks

Binary package hint: udisks

3) After I installed Ubuntu I noticed one of my disks was not seen in nautilus. Further investigating made me use the gnome-disk-util app and there I saw that the drive was seen.

4) This particular drive has one NTFS partition that is contained by an Extended partition, and this utility did no see it. Since it uses udisks I did the following:

$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdc: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 484521 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x19c9893d
