I've got XP installed on my Mac Book Pro A1226. Boot camp doesn't seem to allow partitioning the drive for more than one extra OS. Can I put Linux and Windows 7 on here as well, without use of virtual machine software?

I partitioned the drive with Gparted after I got XP installed, but boot camp will not allow the installation of extra OSes and this Mac doesn't seem to want to boot off of my Windows installation discs.

Perhaps this forum article from the Ubuntu folks may help: LINK

Note that they refer to using rEFIt as the boot menu.

Boot Camp will only allow 1 partition in addition to OSX. For multiple boot options, you must use reFit.

Cheers
