tri-boot question

[Celticsfan]

Ok. I would like to have 3 operating systems XP, Vista and 7 on one computer. I have 2 HD's on my computer. I will put Xp on my 70GB HD and that will work fine. When I use gparted live to partition off my 500 GB hd into 2 separate partitions do i make them as secondary partitions and format as ntfs? I am not sure so if someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I am using gparted live.

thx

All partitions you wish to boot from will have to be primary partitions. You can have up to four primary partitions per physical disk.

If you are planning on installing the three OSes you listed, then make sure you install them in this order: XP, Vista, 7. Way less headaches that way...
