Paprika Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 So I have this PC with Windows XP already installed on it. I want to add ANOTHER XP installation to it, and then an OSx86 and a Fedora Linux installations too. To make four operating systems in total. My question is in what order should I install them if I already have my 1st main xp installation already on the target sata hard drive, and what bootloader is the safest to prepare to use at this point? Also, I thought I read somewhere about MacOSx86 having a nice graphical bootloader avalible... If it exists I'd like to try it, but given my situation how would I go about getting that setup correctly in the end? Thank you for all of your time and hope to hear from you guys soon!!

bkny1055 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 people that have windows already installed use partion magic to partition their drivers, i installed Mac OSX first and created my partions , installed Mac first and then reloaded and used the windows xp cd installed windows went and adjusted the option in windows that allows you to see the two active partions cause for some reason after i installed windows it set it to 1 sec and the MAC to 30 sec reloaded, and now i see both OS but i guess if you are using Linux you can use the Linux boot loader to view partions Good luck and others with more exp wil feed in soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paprika Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 went and adjusted the option in windows that allows you to see the two active partions cause for some reason after i installed windows it set it to 1 sec and the MAC to 30 sec What do you mean it 1 sec and Mac to 30 sec? 1 seconds and 30 seconds?
