Evildemon989 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Soon I am going to build my own i5 rig(Thread on Parts) and I want to Tri Boot Snow Leopard, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 9.10. I'm looking to use chameleon, and I believe there is an installer for OSX(?). Now, I want to install all of these OS's at the same time(Not the SAME exact time, but one right after another.). I'd be using one 1 TB drive with three partitions. Partition sizes would be about 700(OSX), 250(7), and 50(Ubuntu). The partition sizes may change, but I don't believe that would effect what I am going to ask. So basically I am looking to tri boot through chameleon, but I have no clue how I would go by doing that. If you have any advice or if there are any good guides on how to install OSX, 7, and 9.10 in a tri boot with chameleon it would be appreciated. If the guide was how to install all three OS's one after another from a completely wiped HDD it would be even better. Thanks EDIT: I found tonymacx86's guide to dual boot 7 and SL, but can I just follow the guide, but create 3 partitions in disk utility? Then once I get SL and 7 installed and finish the guide, can I just install Ubuntu on the 3rd empty partition?

chokia Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 i suggest 1. Go to Installation thread and learn how to install OSX on your rig because that will be the only problem for hackintosh. if that successful then only u can think of having multibooting. 2. You can create 1 reserve partition that has the biggest space, shared between OSes rather than giving too much space for OS. This will save a lot of data if the OS screwed up and need to be reinstalled. i.e 100GB (OSX), 100GB (Window7), 50GB (Ubuntu) and 700GB+ Share. 3. Use Boot Think rather than chameleon, less headache and much nicer interface.

It's a beautiful guide. And as for a reserve partition, I think I like that idea. What would you format it as? I guess I'll check out boot think aswell. Do they have a site?
