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.

no you can not
If you have harddisk in hand outside of a computer you can read the model details and specifications printed on the harddisk. If it is inside a computer and you are running the computer with a Windows operating system, you can use File Explorer or My Computer icon to see the harddisk details. If it is a C: drive you can also right click and see properties which will show you total size, used and free space (this size is based on partition information of the drive and is it has more than one partitions or have space that has not been used in the logical drive partition it may show less size compared to the actual physical capacity of the HDD. For more details in a Windows XP machine you can also go to Start-> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management This will give you all the details you need to know about the harddisk drives installed in the computer. - Neeraj Sharma
