How do I triple-boot XP, Vista, and Fedora 8 but still use the Windows Vista Bootloader?

I already have a working XP-Vista dual-boot system. I use EasyBCD to configure my MBR. I also checked out EasyBCD's website and it says that I can properly boot Vista with Fedora while still using the Vista bootloader. The problem is that I don't know what would happen if I triple-boot my system.

That's always a sticky situation.



I have a triple boot macbook pro with OS X, Unbutu and XP



the problems i ran into was xp was very picky. IT can only see and use 4 partitions, also it had to be the last partition. Vista i heard was not as bad.



I am actually thinking about putting vista on a extrernal drive and having a quad boot system.



BUT besides the point.



If you don't care about files being destroyed or don't care about maybe having to reinstall vista or xp! then go for it!!!!



but if you do then i would suggest getting partition magic. ITS AWESOME! you can set up a new partition for linux and it won't destroy any of your files. PLUS make a backup cd and incase you bo bo you can boot back into a partition manager and change it back!



just one word of advise. keep your partitions to 4 or under (one for vista, one for xp, one for fedora, and the last one will be a linux swap drive) and make sure xp is the last physical partition.
