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.
