As the subject says...
I want to triple boot between Windows Vista B2, XP Pro x86 and Mac OSX. I had no problem when I had XP and OSX dual booting with NTLDR, but Vista trashes any kind of boot management as it assimilates the PC.
I never could understand why an OS has the need to trash a partition, or part of the drive, not related to installation.

Vista, XP Pro x86 and Mac OSX on same PC... How? Install ord
I have XP x86, x64, Server 2003 x86, x64, Vista x64 and OS X x86 on my computer. I went through trial tribulations to get to work. The trick is install OS X on a system partition, XP has to be on C: which has to be a system, but also an active disk. The OS X drive will not be visible to Windows.
I suggest you got to http://www.osx86project.org if you want help with this. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Many are deleting the Apple 200MB EFI partition before installing Vista. It seems to be the best way to multi-boot with Vista. Apparently, Vista does not like the EFI partition for some reason.
Deleting the EFI partition on an Intel Mac will not keep OS X from booting. However, it will make it very difficult to upgrade the firmware, and will probably have to be restored when upgrading the Apple firmware.
