Multibooting XOSL - Ubuntu, XP, Vista, Win7 on 500gb hdd

[fishfinger]

Hello,



I have a 500gb hdd and want to install the below os’s. I have used a previously great step by step tutorial that illustrated Ubuntu, XP and Vista but can’t find a guide on what I would like to do below…

I intend to use ranish for partitioning and xosl as a bootloader.

Ubuntu


15GB

XP


40GB

Vista


40GB

Windows 7


70GB





Total OS


165GB



Shared data drive formatted with NTFS so all os’s can read/write to this.


Approx 335GB




Thanks

I know nothing about xosl but you need to know this about windows or you will only have two boot entries:

To get each MS to have its own boot loader make a partition and set its boot flag on, then install the 2nd product in it. Multibooters, Pictures here worth 1000+ words
