If the case has room to mount them - servers are a prime example of computer systems with multiple drives.
A barebones system is a partially assembled computer one can purchase. It will usually contain the case, power supply, and CPU. It is up to the user to install RAM, hard drives, optical drives, and any peripherals he / she may want.
You can install anything on a computer. However if you want your antivirus system to work you need to have one working or none will.
Yes, if you are speaking of the hard drives that you put into your computer. Your computer usually comes with one hard drive, but if you need another one, you can install another one you can buy at a computer store. Normally computers come with 2-3 extra hard drive slots in case you'd like to add more.
Installing multiple hard drives is essentially the same as installing just one. Just slide the drive into the bay and screw it in, and then connect the power and data cables. If you are using older PATA drives, you will also need to make sure, if using the same cable for two drives, that one is jumpered for Master and one is jumpered for Slave. This is not an issue with SATA drives; just plug them in. Once they are plugged in, you can install an operating system on them. If you are adding a second drive to an already working system, you may need to enter your BIOS and change the boot order so that the original hard drive is still booted from first.
Did you install Windows XP to the hard drive? New hard drives do not come with an operating system; to boot from it, you have to install one on it.

Most hard drives have only one partition. Each partition is formatted according to one file system. So most hard drives have only one file system.

No, not at all. Despite the hard drive being old school IDE or SATA, the computer will recognize it as a new storage deice. Note for the older IDE hard drives, if you desire to install more than one, you will have to use jumpers.
You do not need to in order for your computer to provide basic functionality, but it seperates your hard drive so that your computer thinks you have two or more hard drives, but in reality it has only one. You may use this to use more than one operating system on any given computer system.
The difficulty lays in that you can only hook up 4 (E)ide devices One master and one slave per cable. so your hard drives would take up both ide connectors on your motherboard and leave you no way to hook up the optical drives.
