problem in triple boot

[tirto]

Yeah man. If the virtual machine (VMware or Virtualbox) is the route you'd like to go, we can totally help you. Pick which OS you want to be your primary install (Win7, Backtrack, or Fedora). Get that installed on your laptop and then let us know. Be sure to tell us which install you go with.

OS I want to be my primary install : win7

[ProfTheory]

Here is the order I would suggest:
Win7, BT, Fedora

I would give each OS 30GB+ (my own system I give 40GB ea. on a 500GB drive.)
In all cases do NOT allow automatic partitioning/setup.
When you get to the partitioning part of Fedora pick the /boot partition but do NOT format it! Then create your / and swap parts. You can use LVM in Fedora but you may not want to do that so that if you want to resize partitions you will be able to. GParted can't resize LVMs. After doing that you'll need to manually edit/merge the grub.conf & grub.conf.rpmsave files. the rpmsave file will have the BT settings. You may also need to add Win7 into grub.conf.

OK, then install Win7 and then go to here and download virtualbox. Install the program and then you will be up and running.

Operating Virtualbox:

Open the program and select "New"

Just follow the directions on the screen.

Once the new machine is created, you will browse the setting to mount the .iso file you wish to mount to the machine to install on the newly created said machine.

Then run the machine as if it is a new computer. Don't forget to unmount the .iso file in the settings after install the OS.

I strongly suggest VM Workstation. Once can boot as many OS's
at the same time. The guest OS's will run as applications. Try to stay away from "dual boot" or "triple boot", etc...One wrong move
on any partitions and the re-install of the whole PC is in order...

I strongly suggest VM Workstation.

You have to pay for that and it's almost $200.
