Depends, you can make as many partitions as you want.
You can't put any files on the drive until you partition followed by a format.
Right click on "My Computer", click on "Manage", open the "Storage" section, then click on "Disk Management". The partitions on each disk can then be seen graphically on the right hand side.
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
Any computer with the ability to understand "partitions" can run multiple operating systems, albeit one at a time. Any computer with the ability to run virtual hardware (such as with a Hypervisor) can run more than one operating system simultaneously. The operating system must also support partitions or it will be unable to run on a hard drive with more than one partition.
Primary partitions are the only type of basic disk partitions designed tostore fi les that are used to load an operating system

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.
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.
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.
You do it by creating partitions on your hard drives. Partitions are typically created before the hard drive is formatted. Another option is to use a program like Partition Magic to edit partitions on your hard drive. You generally don't want to play around with your partitions too much after you have your OS up and running. Any error may cause you to have to reinstall everything.
A technician is attempting to create multiple partitions on a hard disk. This will allow for storing the operating system and data files on separate partitions. What is the maximum number of primary partitions per hard drive that is supported by Windows XP?
Partitions are not something that are the same from drive to drive, or from computer to computer. Partitions are created by the user from unused hard drive space, and have no set size, although there is a relatively small minimum. This means that even one one disk, a user can create literally dozens, if not hundreds.
