I'm planning to install Mac OS X using these instructions

http://basshead.wordpress.com/2010/04/04/snow-leopard-on-acer-aspire-one-aoa150zg5/

on my Acer z5g notebook

I have Windows XP & Ubuntu 11.04 dual booting on it perfectly fine. My question is how do I make triple boot system? What exactly do I need to do for this? Do I need to tweak grub for that? I'm going to create 30GB partition for MAC OS X. Is it correct thing to do?

EDIT:

i still couldnt get it done..but soon it will be working.for now

also while installing win7,it might give you some kinda MBR partitioning error but not to fear thats because partitions are out of sync..you just have to execute command gptsync from your ubuntu or MacOSX (i had to install gptsync via apt-get) and then you are good to go.

note:you might also need to perform one or more steps repeatedly to get the things done,so dont frustrate and keep doing it until you get it right.for me it took almost a whole month of sweat,tears,blood,grief.i also broke BIOS of my netbook making it unable to even start,but as alway google helped me out here is a link to recover BIOS of ACER ZG5

BEST OF LUCK
