Download the hiren boot CD 9.1 and above 2. Format the harddrive in this way using partition Magic 8. 1. Primary 20 Gb for Vista ntfs 2. Extended 10 GB xp ntfs 3. Extended 20 GB for MAC os X 10.5.2 MAC Unformated 4. Windows Swap memory 5 GB ntfs 5. Norton Ghost 40 GB ntfs remaining as per your choice Install in a sequential order xp, Windows vista, MAC os 10.5.2 , PS To save space the change the swapping memory to a different partition 1. Turn off the system restore off from windows xp, vista 2. Use disk clean up to get rid of the hibernation file in vista its nearly 3 gb 3. I am successful in installing windows vista under 6 gb provided that you transfer the virtual memory to a different partition same applies to windows xp, and server 2003 3. When you install MAC os x mark the primary paritition active using paragon disk manager . dont change anything for mac os x. 4. Use the Vista cd and repair the option to able to boot the vista 5. Once in vista use Easy BCD tool 1.71 to mark all other OS working 6. Once done that use the Hiren boot cd and mark the primary partition of vista de active you would be able to get darwin boot loader to select the operating sytem Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
