    Triple booting is fairly easy. It helps if you know a little about grub.

    See this thread (sorry to link to another forums).

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=724817

    There are a number of tips on that thread. Personally I either chainload or configfile

    Code:
    Title Ubuntu
root (hd0,1)
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst

Title Fedora
root (hd0,2)
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst

Title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
    You will need to modify that a bit, for your layout and grub must be installed into your Linux partitions.

    Thanks bodhi.zazen,
    I read the link but still trying to understand. I will read more because modify grub and change setting is new to me. So I will read more related topics. Thanks once again.
