OK so I used that program to make the area I shrunk a primary partition. I then rebooted and installed XP onto it. That part went fine. I used EasyBCD to add windows 7 to the boot list.

If I go into XP and look in msconfig, this is what my boot.ini looks like.

I just installed mac os x leopard on a seperate partition on my hard drive. Whenever I try to boot OS X, it shows the mac screen with the apple in the middle, but never does boot up. Also, whenever I try to boot up win 7, it says use the system recovery on the installation disk. When I try to do...
Hi,
I used this article a little while ago to dual boot Vista and XP (With Vista installed first), and it worked like a charm.

Would this also work with Seven instead of Vista?
