4 ----- Dhyan Tripathi You can have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary partitions and one extended partition containing any number of logical partitions. While you can assign a drive letter to a partition, you can also map it as
Ther can only be one Extended Partition per hard drive
3 partition
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.
1.-schema partition 2.-configuration partition 3.-domain partition 4.-application partition
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.
You can create as many partitions as you want.The no of partitions depends on your wish and the size of each partition. You can either have 3 partitions of 500 GB each. or 15 partitions of 100GB each.
On normal SATA it is 15. IDEs is much more, 64 i think. Or maybe double or trible. But if you are using fdisk from terminal in linux, it is noo problem to make more than 15 partitions on a SATA. I made 60 before it hit the max. These are empty partitions which are now easily modified by programs like gparted.
It doesn't create anything automatically - it usually creates them based on how the user wants it to be configured. For the most part, you will have around 2-3 partitions for a basic "everything in one partition" setup (a /boot partition, optionally an ESP if you are using UEFI, and a root partition).
You can explore partitions to ensure that it is the one you want to modify. You can do this by using the Explore Partition function. There are three ways to initiate this function: 1. Select the desired partition, click Explore Partition under Partitions Operations in the Action Panel.2. Select the desired partition, click Partitions in the top menu, then click Explore.3. Double click the partition you want to check in the Partition list.Partition Explorer will show the size of the files, revise time, create time and file trees. The present edition of Partition Wizard only support the exploration of FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS file systems.
You will need to open up the disk management window on you computer. To do this open up the control panel and search for "partition" then click the link that says "Create and format hard disk partitions". From here you can view and modify all the partitions on any disk on your computer.
SCSI does not care about partitions. This is only the protocol used to interface with the harddisk. There is probably a practical limit to the possible number of partitions on your SCSI drive. This is limited by its size mostly. Normal limitations on partitions is something like 3 Primary partitions and one extended of which can contain more logical partitions. However not being 100% sure about limitations I find it logical to be about 127 or 255. In any case more than what is practical for most uses. It is greatly dependent upon which operatingsystem you use. A partition is only controlled via software or even software in hardware. Designing software for it, and you can easily have thousands of "partitions". it is like having a book. If you write the book yourselves, you decide how many chapters this book will consist of. You decide the size of each chapter.
