[QUOTE="kiwitech, post: 978994, member: 139744"] [b]Here is a good step by step article[/b] Here is a link to a very easy to follow article by Spencer Harbar. The scenario described is for Mac OSX, Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server. [url=http://www.harbar.net/articles/mbptb.aspx]Triple Boot MacBook Pro[/url] The order you need to do the installation/partition is this; Mac OSX, Win XP (instead of Vista), W7 (instead of Windows 2008 server). You must install XP before W7 or XP will overwrite the W7 boot loader and you will not be able to boot into it again. (though there are articles on the inernet relating to Vista/XP dual boot on how to fix this if you need to) When I set this up, I partitioned my Windows partitions as NTFS to get past the 32GB barrier. However I then installed two third party solutions. On Mac OSX Paragon NTFS for Mac. On Windows Macdrive These allow me to browse any partition form any OS so I don't have to reboot to get to data all of the time. It also means all partitions are scanned by my Mac Antivirus software - Intego [/QUOTE]
