872907	2010-04-04 21:20:00	I am looking at installing XP, 7 and Ubuntu on the computer in my sig. How hard will it be to set up a quad boot? And what order should I install them?	nedkelly (9059)
872908	2010-04-04 21:34:00	Do you want to use Grub as the bootloader? And that is only a tri boot but I would go XP, & and then Ubuntu as Grub would then pick up the two windows installs	gary67 (56)
872909	2010-04-04 21:34:00	Start with XP, then Vista, Win7 and finally Ubuntu. That is the easiest way although you can do it in any order really. www.garuba.com forums.linuxmint.com	KarameaDave (15222)
872910	2010-04-04 21:37:00	@Gary67: I currently have Vista 64 bit running on the pc, not really sure about the bootloader. I was told that it would use both. @KarameaDave: I dont really want to have to reinstall my Vista 64 bit, so would that make it hard to do?	nedkelly (9059)

872912	2010-04-04 21:39:00	agreed. Also on another note the time on the forums is wrong. Or is that just me? Edit: Never mind had wrong DST settings.	nedkelly (9059)
872913	2010-04-04 21:42:00	When you install XP it will overwrite the Vista boot files. just do a boot repair to fix that and the rest should be simple support.microsoft.com	KarameaDave (15222)
872914	2010-04-04 21:46:00	About 5 minutes out	gary67 (56)
872915	2010-04-04 22:02:00	and just use EasyBCD to fix the Bootmanager after the xp and 7 install?	nedkelly (9059)
872916	2010-04-04 22:27:00	Yeah that should work. Grub2 in Ubuntu should pick them all up anyway.	KarameaDave (15222)
