Embio Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 OK so my friend has a Macbook similiar to mine and wants to tri-boot Tiger, Leopard and Windows. The only way I can think of doing this is to boot camp the 108GB drive into two 60 and 48GB partitions, then split the second partition again into two HFS+ and FAT32 partitions, and then install leopard and windows on to each one respectively (with windows being last on the drive as dictated by boot camp). Then with rEFIt it should work, no? I missed a step there didnt I?

Jeezoflip Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Mmmm.... Sounds easy enough, but i dont think u can just go do that. I mean, you can probably install both leopard and tiger, but i dont know how you would choose one over the other, unless u changed ur start up disk each time. (this is including windows).

Urbz Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 wouldn't you then have a hfs+ partition inside your mbr/bootcamp start sector? I think you'd be better off doing bootcamp ffor windows, and keep that how you like, and then split the FIRST partition using disk utility in the terminal (search for that...you'll find it!). Then just use rEFIt. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35686-could-i-run-a-quick-installation-idea-past-you/#findComment-253950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Aaah I understand what you mean there, I knew I was missing something! But is fdisk in terminal non-destructive in the same way that boot camp is? hang on, answered my own question when I read the onmac.net triple boot guide. thanks guys Edited December 13, 2006 by Embio Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35686-could-i-run-a-quick-installation-idea-past-you/#findComment-253953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbz Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 hey no problem, let us know how it goes, and go ahead and take screenshots of what you're doing, i'm sure a lot of people would love a little faq on this. You could even just link to the sites you used and tell me what you did, i'd be interested in making an faq with you, or give you credit or something. PM me.
