If we assume multiple OSes and a Multi-Boot option to start, practically unlimited on a large enough hard drive, but Windows has a 24 drive name limit (the letter "Z"), and the first two, A & B, must be left off because they are reserved for floppy drives.
Um, I think as many as you want. I dual boot Windows XP and linux on two of my computers-- I think that is about four or five partitions on each hard drive, since I use separate partitions for the linux swap and stuff. I know of some people who have installed five or more operating systems on one hard drive-- you certainly could do it if you wanted. There is a nice program called Norton Partition Magic that you can use to manage partitions on your hard drive. There are some free alternatives, but Partition Magic seems to be the best.
