Nologo Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi everybody, I have a MacBook. I am not so expert I need help to install 4 OS into it. I already found and read many docs about that, but most of them are: old, not fully comprehensive, and not definitive I just need a link or a written definitive procedure. 1) Winzoz Vista 2) Winzoz Xp 3) OSX 4) Ubuntu Is there anyone can help me please? thanks PS: The most interesting doc I had found was at this link h*tp://forum.onmac.net//showthread.php?t=2793 but are many days that the link is down Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97259-quad-boot-on-a-macbook/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanna Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Download Gparted and create 4 partitions on your hard drive(s) (4 total partition) Create 2 NTFS, one EXT and one HFS Install windows on ntfs, linux on ext and oscx on hfs ... use guid not mbr for boot I would recommend you use at least 2 hard drives but you can do as many as you like. To be able to boot from each one, you have to configure your grub to find each partition. You can google that.

SticMAC™ Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Ubuntu is going to need 2 partitions, 1 for the OSand 1 small one (3GB) for the swap file, so you need 5!!

iScott Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Why do you need to quad boot? Isn't Leopard + windows Boot Camp good enough? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97259-quad-boot-on-a-macbook/#findComment-696630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T. Firefly Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 the only other OS i'd even think of putting on a macbook would be openSUSE Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97259-quad-boot-on-a-macbook/#findComment-696638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
