How may partitions are on a computer system?
Depends, you can make as many partitions as you want.
How many partitions can fit on a SCSI drive?
Hard drives have no physical limit on the number of partitions that can be placed on them. The limitations are dependent on the system architecture and the operating system.
How many partitions can a small computer system interface support?
It depends if you are using a basic disk or dynamic disk( you can go to your drive and convert it from basic to dynamic but if you go from dynamic to basic it will destroy all data you have on it) dynamic disk can have more partitions although with dynamic it calls partitions volumes
A basic disk contains 3 logical partitions how many of these partitions can be primary partitions?
A basic disk contains 3 logical partitions, but only one of them can be the primary partition. This is only if the system has enough free space.
How many total partitions can a small computer system interface support?

How many partitions are required for a multiple operating system in a multi-boot environment?
As many as you want :)

How many partitions can you have on a Windows Basic disk?
In Windows Server 2008, a physical drive using MBR partition style can have up to four primary partitions and one extended partition.
How many operatin sysytem can be installed in one system?
As many as you can create partitions large enough to hold files of OS.
Why might you use the Extend Disk Partition option?
Typically you can only have 4 primary partitions per hard drive if you are using the MBR partition layout scheme. If you need more partitions than the maximum allowed (4), then there is a way to get many more partitions with only one hard drive.By creating an extended partition you can have as many logical partitions as you need within that extended partition, thus you can have more than only four partitions. You can have 3 primary partitions and one extended partition (for a total of 4), and inside the extended partition you can have as many logical partitions as you need.The one thing to keep in mind is that any type of Windows Operating System needs to be installed in a primary partition, otherwise you cannot boot into it. Windows XP in particular, needs to be installed in the first primary partition. For everything else, you can create as many logical partitions as you want inside the extended partition.
What is the maximum number of partitions required to dual-boot Windows XP and Windows Vista?
The minimum number of partitions needed to dual boot windows xp and windows vista is actually 2, one for each operating system. However, if your computer was bought and it already had one of those two systems preinstalled and with it a separate windows recovery partition as well as a system reserved partition, then your minimum in that case would be 4 priamry partitions (which also happens to be the maximum allowed if you are using strictly primary partitions. One way to have more than 4 primary partitions is to have one of those partitions become an extended partition which can in turn have as many partitions as you need. I hope that wasn't too confusing
How many extended partitions can there be on a basic disk?
When any hard disk is initialised one of the things that will happen is the number and size of partitions is calculated and created. The size of the disk and the operating system will be a big factor on how many and what size are the partititions
