you can have 63 partitions on a IDE disk (i have 18 :-) ) the limit
is you may only have 4 PRIMARY partitions which are bootable, one
primary partition may be a extended partition which can contain many
many partitions inside it.
SCSI disks I believe have the same primary partition limits as IDE
(if you use the DOS partition table anyway) but SCSI disks are
limited to 15 partitions total (primary and extended) at least in
the linux kernel.
