[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1064382, member: 46727"] Read this "[URL="http://lifehacker.com/5531037/how-to-triple+boot-your-mac-with-windows-and-linux-no-boot-camp-required"]How to Triple Boot[/URL]"...... But my advice to you is forget about triple booting Linux, Vista, and OS X by using rEFIt or the above author's method. A simple way is to download the free [URL="http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads"]VirtualBox[/URL] application and run Linux, Vista, as virtual machines. I'm currently using rEFIt to dual boot Snow Leopard and Windows 7. It works well but dual booting is easy. Triple booting gets more complicated because GRUB is so finicky - and the Vista Boot Sector is different from previous Windows versions such as XP. Regards. [/QUOTE]
