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

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.
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.
A basic disk contains 3 logical partitions how many of these partitions can be marked as active?
Only 1
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
How many total 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
How many maximum different filesystems can be defined on a disk with four partitions?
Assuming one of them is an extended partition on an MS-DOS partition table: Eight. If the partitions are all primary partitions: Four.
How many total partitions can a standard computer computer disk ide and sata?
Due to limitations imposed by DOS back in the '80s, ATA (the proper name for ide) and SATA drives can only hold 4 partitions. To work around this, extended partitions were invented. Extended partitions can hold 4 more partitions, any of which can be more extended partitions. Thus the number of partitions is effectively limited by the size of the disk. These limitations aren't imposed by the disk itself, rather the PC architecture. Intel macs, which don't need to maintain compatibility with DOS or old versions of windows use EFI, which allows for 128 primary partitions.
Single basic disk can consist of a maximum of how many primary partitions?
4 on ms-dos partition table
A basic contains 3 logical partitions How many of these partitions can be primary partitions?
1
How many extended partitions can be created in a hard drive?
Ther can only be one Extended Partition per hard drive
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.
How many partitions can there be on a hard drive?
As many as it can handle (how big it is). And adding partitions does not make more space. It's like putting a brick wall in the middle of a football field. :-P This is depend on your disk style, if your disk is MBR, you could only create four primary partitions or three primary partitions with one Extended partition (you could create many logical partition under extended partition) at most If your disk style is GPT, you could create as many as you can. here is an article about how to make partition from http://www.partition-magic-windows7.com/res/create-partition-windows7.html
