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

Otherwise, if you use something like LVM, it would be unlimited logical partitions, across a single disk or multiple disks.
