Multiple Operating Systems

[chicha]

hello ppl, this is krishna my first post here.

i have this doubt i am planning to have multi boot windows 7, XP, ubuntu 9.04, ELIVE, and RED HAT. i have had 2 os's before XP and hardy harton but not more than that.

i am hoping i can have this setup, if i can what is the order i need to install? i will be doing a fresh install of all the OS's.

it would be even better if i cold have more.


and i am sorry if this has been discussed earlier, i was too lazy to search.
hope i have not started with a wrong foot forward

thank you Lillebror

i read the posts i have the same plan, but it will take time for me to get my hands of the os's so until then i will use virtual pc as suggested by some one, i will install ubuntu 9.04 and dream on it. once i have a good collection of os's i will install them normally.

thank you once again for the reply

You have to create the appropriate sized partitions. From there you have to install the OS's. With all of this I highly doubt you will be able to keep Windows 7 and still be able to boot it flawlessly. I think installing Linux distros afterwards will be better.

A good idea, I can do that one too, thanks.

If your planning to do multiple booting of operating system. Try to use an OS Selector. I have here in my computer Windows 7, Windows XP SP2, UBUNTU and FREEBeOS. I'm using a Acronis OS Selector.
