The computer management feature in Windows can be used to partition a drive and create logical drives within these partitions. There are also commercial and non-commercial programs available for the same purpose.

How many partions can IDE support?

IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) can support a maximum of four primary partitions on a single hard drive. Alternatively, one of these primary partitions can be configured as an extended partition, which can contain multiple logical drives. This allows for a total of up to three primary partitions and potentially many logical drives within the extended partition.

As many as it can handle (how big it is). And adding partitions does not make more space. It's like putting a brick wall in the middle of a football field. :-P This is depend on your disk style, if your disk is MBR, you could only create four primary partitions or three primary partitions with one Extended partition (you could create many logical partition under extended partition) at most If your disk style is GPT, you could create as many as you can. here is an article about how to make partition from http://www.partition-magic-windows7.com/res/create-partition-windows7.html

Describe the drive partition naming convention in fedora core 4?

In Fedora Core 4, the drive partition naming convention follows the standard used by Linux, where hard drives are typically identified as /dev/sdX, where X is a letter starting from 'a' for the first drive, 'b' for the second, and so on. Partitions on these drives are denoted by appending a number to the drive identifier, such as /dev/sda1 for the first partition on the first drive. For IDE drives, the convention uses /dev/hdX instead. Additionally, logical partitions within extended partitions are labeled with numbers greater than 4 (e.g., /dev/sda5).
