Thanks.
Just managed to borrow an external HDD and partitioned as desired. The reason for having 2 Mac OS and 1 NTFS partition was to mount the 2 Mac OS partition under OS X 10.5 and to mount the NTFS partition under Fusion at the same time. I cannot achieve this at the moment. is there any other way to do it? i am not concerned about the write and write of NTFS files under OS X as I am using Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X which performs very well.

Which program are you using for the partitioning?

I will be using disk utility to create the partitions. I plan to use one MAC OS partition for time machine. The second MAC OS is for saved data files created under MAC OS software. The NTFS partition is for saving work done in Windows under Fusion using programs which must run under Windows (XP Pro in my case). If it is not possible to mount ALL three partitions simultaneously under OS X 10.5 and XP (Fusion) then I will probably use one of my older Lacie HD for the NTFS data, ie plugging it in when I am in Fusion mode to mount it.
At the moment, I can mount all three partitions in OS X but the NTFS partition is not available when I switch to Fusion. Even after I ejected the NTFS partition in OS X, it is still not available in Fusion Windows.
