Start off by Dual Booting XP and Windows 7

Then install Linux where GRUB will identify the XP and Windows 7 Partitions



I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint Debian Edition then you need to create a Bootable LiveDVD

Linux Mint Debian Edition can also be run straight from the LiveDVD from Boot without touching your Hard Drive

I would have windows 7 on its own hard drive then have xp and linux on another and on mine i tap F12 to choose which hard drive to boot from, If you have xp already and then your installing Linux choose the "install along side other operating system" option, This will then give you a little grub loader where you can choose which OS to boot from at start up.

why would you want two different versions of windows? can't you just pick one?



you could put all three on one hard drive, but it will take up a huge amount of space (windows 7 is big enough by itself) i like what the guy above said about using two hard drives, or buy a very large hard drive which can fit all three without making each pointlessly small.





personally i would just choose either xp or 7. it seems redundant to have both. dual-booting would work better than tri-booting
The easiest way is to install linux last. Then have linux install the grub bootloader installed on the first hard drive (/dev/sda: not /dev/sda1, in linux terminology). Then when you boot the computer you will have a menu with the options of which OS to boot.

Good luck
