Triple boot Win 7, XP, and Mint 14
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 8:05 pm
As the title says, I am considering doing a triple boot on my system,
System specs are..
Win 7 on a 1 TB Samsung Sata HD
Win XP on a Western Digital 640 GB Sata HD
Processor is AMD Phenom II X4 970
8 GB G Skill DDR2 ( 4 X 2 GB sticks )
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P
PSU: PC Power and Cooling 750 Watt
Graphics card is AMD HD 6950 2 GB
Monitor: Samsung 19" Widescreen LCD
What I want to know is, what would be the "safest" way to install Mint 14 on my system? My thoughts are to install it to the drive running XP, as IF I lose an OS, XP would be the least painful to lose, as I rarely boot into it anymore.
What are the possible problems I might encounter? What are the chances of me screwing up my Win 7 install?
