Dual, Triple, Quad Boot a Macbook with Mac OS X, Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP, and Windows Vista
In this tutorial I will be showing you how to Quad boot your macbook with OS X, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Ubuntu Linux. You can leave out the OSes you don’t want or replace them with something else. This is just a general but detailed guide for noobz!
We will be installing OS X from scratch so all your setting will be deleted. You might want to back up the data with Time machine or another backup software. Insert the OS X DVD and reboot the macbook holding down the C key.
Select your Language.
Before we install the OSes, we will partition the hard drive into 5 partitions. Go to Utilities and click on Disk Utility.
Select the Hard drive on the left. Mine has a 120GB drive.
Click on the partition tab and select 5 Partitions from the Volume Scheme. Label them as follows:
1. Vista (MS-DOS FAT and atleast 10GB)
2. Storage (MS-DOS FAT and however much space you want as a storage location)
3. XP (MS-DOS FAT and atleast 7GB)
4. OSX (Extended Journaled and atleast 20GB)
5. Free space (Chose from the drop down. will be used for our Ubuntu Linux)
Click on Options and make sure GUID Partition Table is selected. Hit Apply
Click Partition
Now we are going to Install our first OS. Select the OSX partition and continue.
Install
You can skip the check if you know the DVD is in good condition and without scratches.
Your Installing your first OS. excited?
Be patient. This will take a while.
Restart your computer.
It will ask you for the second Disc. Insert the second disc.
Installation Complete!! now pat yourself on the back.
Once you setup your OSX with your settings, open up the safari web browser and goto http://refit.sourceforge.net/ and download the Mac disk image
downloading….
once the download finishes, double click the image and then on the installer to install it.
After rEFIt is installed, insert the VISTA disc and reboot holding the C key.
Select language.
Install.
Accept the terms.
Custom (advanced)
Select the Vista partition and format with NTFS before continuing with Install.
After restarting, you will see the rEFIt GUI. select the second partition to boot into VISTA.
Goto My computer.
select the CD/DVD drive.
Eject the CD and insert the OSX disc.
Select Open folder.
Go into Boot Camp folder.
click setup.exe
Continue to Install the BootCamp drivers.
Select No to restart. We need to mark our XP partition as active first.
Goto Control Panel.
System and maintenance
Click ‘Create and format hard disk partitions’ under Administrative tools.
right click the XP partition and formate with NTFS.
after formatting is complete, right click the XP partition and mark as active.
Hell yes. Now eject the OSX disc and insert the XP disc.
Upon entering rEFIt, select boot from CD.
Select partition 4
Let it do its thang.
upon restart, Boot from partition 4.
Awesome!! Now you have 3 OSes. Take a break.
In XP, goto my computer and eject the CD. Insert the OSX disc.
Install Boot Camp drivers.
Select no to the restart. Eject the OSX disc and insert the Ubuntu CD. Now restart
Boot from CD.
Select language
Install Ubuntu
Select language
Pick your timezone.
Select USA – Macintosh for the keyboard.
Select the free space and click on new partition.
Now we will make a swap space for Linux.
Size: more than your RAM to be able to hibernate. My RAM is 2GB so I choose 2001MB.
Location: End
Use as: Swap area
Create another partition.
Size: Use the remaining disk space.
Location: Beginning
Use as: Ext3
Mount point: /
type in your username and password. Don’t forget your password.
nothing to migrate. so leave this blank.
Click on advanced and in the drop down box type in (hd0,2)
proceed normally
Restart.
Ubuntu will ask you to remove the disc and press ENTER.
You will come back to rEFIt
Start the partitioning tool.
Type Y to update the MBR.
Boot from the Linux partition
Boot into Vista.
You should get an error. If you get this error, Follow the directions and enter the Vista CD. restart the computer and select Boot from CD from the rEFIt menu.
repair and restart.
now we want our Ubuntu to start automatically without waiting for a timeout when we select the Ubuntu partition, instead of showing us the Grub menu. To do this, boot into ubuntu and open a terminal shell.
type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
enter your password.
you will be presented with the grub configuration file in a text editor. change the timeout to 0.
Enjoy your QUAD BOOT MACBOOK !!!!

Hey Man!
…
You do not know how glad I am to find your detailed guide. I was stumbling 3 Days with getting my quadboot to work until I found your guide. Thanks again. You saved my Ass (I mean my computer
Cheers and have a nice day!!!

Quick question install without bootcamp partitioned disk ?
March 29th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
yes, just follow the directions.
March 30th, 2009 at 3:11 am
can not get linux boot as it freezing
April 5th, 2009 at 2:41 am
Without partition 3 as a storage – IT DOES NOT WORK – you will get a hall.dll stop error in windows xp….
i made my storage partition as small as i could (i just do not want one). partition 3 storage = 1gb…..
April 7th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
can we just do a 3 partition:
1. for the OSX?
2. Windows xp or 7
3. Storage backup
i only want 3 partition… and i dont want to format again and again..
thanks
May 5th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Thank you very very much – a great help. Work fine
Now just have to figure out to set up internetconnection with and with out wire
June 5th, 2009 at 12:17 am
yes, and its actually not very hard because you can use the boot camp bootloader instead of setting up rEFIt. use the boot camp utility to partition your hard drive into two partitions, one for mac os x and one for windows. when it asks you to put in the cd and reboot, don’t. then open up disk utility and shrink down your mac os x partition so that there is free space between the os x partition and the windows partition. it is important that it goes there, as boot camp expects windows to be the last partition. then put in your windows install cd, reboot, and hold “C” when it turns back on. the windows installer will restart at different points during the installation (once after copying files and once after the final install). every time windows setup reboots your computer, hold the “alt” key as the computer turns on and select your Windows partition (not the windows cd) from the menu that appears. when windows is set up, install the boot camp drivers on your mac os x install disc as per above and then restart into mac os x (do this by holding “alt” at boot and choosing mac os x). then go back into disc utility and create a “MS-DOS (FAT)” partition in the free space, and you should be good to go!

Hi -
I am new at this and took the plunge and think I messed up along the way – I partioned my iMac drive but didn’t get the Win partion at the end – I was able to keep the linux and osx with refit but I want to start over without removing my osx partion. Is this possible without completely reformating everything? Thanks
September 2nd, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Thanks for the excellent guide. Can I follow the same instructions to install Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows 7, and Linux? (Windows 7 instead of Windows Vista.)
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Im sure you can but I haven’t tried it. If you do, could you post the results? thanks.
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:51 pm
I’m not familiar with EFI at all, so I’m a bit afraid of playing around with things and ending up with an unusable computer. For now I’m probably going to just go for a triple boot environment. (Mac OS X, XP, and Ubuntu.)
Thanks anyway.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:38 am
I’ve been experimenting with using the Windows 7 RC as part of the quadruple boot, and my experience has been as follows: everything works fine until you install Ubuntu, at which point booting Windows 7 from rEFIt results in the message “Error loading operating system”. Interestingly, booting Windows 7 by first choosing to boot Ubuntu in rEFIt and then booting Windows 7 from GRUB results in it loading error-free. The solution that I found for it is to use Winclone to make a backup of Windows 7 before installing Ubuntu (make sure that the “copy generic BCD” option is not selected in preferences, or it will write windows vista boot code). Then, simply restore the image back onto the Windows 7 partition afterwords and it should all work. I’m sure that there’s a better way of doing this (again, it’s able to boot through GRUB, so it’s not completely trashed), but this is the way I found to work.
September 5th, 2009 at 5:09 am
thanks for that tip. I am also positive there has to be another way but unfortunately I can’t check because I no longer have my macbook.
September 15th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
One more question: Is it possible to shrink OS X’s partition instead of reformatting the entire hard drive?
September 15th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
OK, I’ve done some more reading and now I understand that Windows can only be used with the first four partitions.
Is it possible to do without the data partition and therefore avoid the need to reformat? If not, perhaps I’ll try to just shrink the Mac OS X partition, add on four other partitions, clone Mac OS X to the last partition, and then reformat the first partition for Vista… Unfortunately, I don’t have a backup hard drive, so I can’t think of an alternative.
September 15th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
its possible but theres a slight chance you might lose data.
September 15th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
I have all of my documents backed up online, so I’m not worried about that- I’d just like to avoid needing to reinstall all of my apps.
Which is possible- to install without the data partition or to clone the Mac partition?
September 16th, 2009 at 1:24 am
you can do without the storage partition but you might get the hal.dll error in XP and you might have to tweak it. you can also shrink the OSX partition
September 17th, 2009 at 2:20 am
This is a really good guide.
One question, though. If I only want Vista, Ubuntu, and OS X, can I proceed as the above and just skip the xp parts/partition? I’ve been trying that and everything works perfectly until the last step with ubuntu. It seems that it is trying to boot from my storage partition for some reason. Does this have to do with the fact that when I installed it I typed in (hd0,2) which then installs the boot file to that partition? So if my linux partition is sda6, can I replace the above with (hd0,5)?
September 17th, 2009 at 5:10 am
you are absolutely correct. grub is trying to load sda3 so you need to change it. you don’t have to reinstall it. before it loads, you can press e to edit and change hd0,2 to hd0,5. once you load ubuntu, you can make a permanent change by editing your menu.lst
September 18th, 2009 at 5:25 am
Thanks. It worked.
I was having trouble since I had two linux penguins that booted, so I went back and wiped everything, thus restarting. I followed everything, this time storing the boot loader to (hd0,5).
The problem now is that the ubuntu icon boots grub and the windows one as well. They seem to all be pointing to the same place, as when i boot both i get ubuntu. Now I can’t get into windows without setting the timeout back to 10 seconds and then booting into windows, though it works fine if i do that.
Is there any way to fix the above problem? Thanks.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
I really don’t know what you mean, but you might be able to fix grub from within ubuntu
October 21st, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Wwwwoowww !
What a work !! CONGRATULATIONS !!
You must have look for a certain time to find out all that !
I really appreciate the form of your presentation..
Just 2 questions chief,
1)-i was wondering if your process could last in this form, even if you decide to uprgade one of the Oses you installed…I mean upgrading an os may destroy the quad boot or no : no risk ??
2)-i was wondering if you really can make the same Quad boot – replacing Vista by Seven… With the Window 7 current distribution it would be a nice opportunity to test it (Without making a backup of Windows 7 before installing Ubuntu -> I saw the post.. Seems busy to do
.
May be the Seven message which indicate : “Error loading operating system” just means that You have to reboot on the Seven CD and make a repair and restart action => Like with Vista in your present tuto !!
ANYWAY YOU REALLY DESERVE ENCOURAGEMENTS !
P.S : Excuse my english, I haven’t practise for a long time..
In french I tell you : “BRAVO, superbe travail ! Je vais tout de suite essayer ! Merci pour ton aide précieuse et à très bientot !”

Hey HydTech !
Are you connected ??
October 26th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Hello HydTech,
I’m really in big big trouble vith Vista.. Using your Quadboot method :
My Installation -> 5 partitions (like your model, EXACTLY)
1: Vista
2 : Storage
3: Xp
4: Macos (With “SNOW LEOPARD”)
5 : Free space for Linux (Ubuntu 9.04)
I explain quicly : I follow your process ; but first of all : Once Vista is installed -> If i try to run it, I’ve got first this message :”Booting GRLRD… Reseting the boot drive….find–set-root /bootmanager.. etc…” and after all these lines Vista starts to run..
I tried to repair it with the Vista CD, but nothing to do..
And even if i finish all your process, I can no more run Vista and got this message “BOOTMGR absent.. ctrl+alt+sup to restart..”-> I tried but nothing happens..
Secondly, and this is strange but My vista partition has been renamed “BOOTCAMP” !!?
And the third & last point : Very strange too : When I restart and arrive to the Refit menu, if I point to the linux partition : I’m said – i mean its written under the linux logo – that linux is on the storage partition !!!!??!!
If you would help me please..
I’ve got a 5,2 MacBookPro – Intel core 2 duo – 2,66 Ghz
my RAM : 4 Go
October 26th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
are you following the directions?
October 27th, 2009 at 10:35 am
Hello HydTech and thanks to help me
Sure I follow EXACTLY what you teach here. I am on Snow Leopard -> Do you think having Snow leopard cause troubles doing your tuto ??
What about my Vista installation ? My Vista is not an official version (I mean it’s a pirated one) but I can fully set it up vwith no problems – during the install. : Do you think it’s something to do with that ?
After researches i understood that when you configure Linux and install it you fix the GRUB to the FAT32 partition -> That’s may be why Linux appears in the Refit menu as bootable from “storage partition”..
I am very desapointed with all that because i found your tuto verywell made.. I am trying to retry it again..
ANYWAY if you can help me again man ;. It would be very nice from you. I’m 2d designer.. And if i can help you one day.. Tell me !
October 27th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
i think you should download another Vista and try again.
October 27th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Ok thank you for you help I’m going to try it.. Thank you very much.
For the 2 strange points i described :
1)-My vista partition which has been renamed “BOOTCAMP” !!?
->When i created my 5 partitions i gave names with spaces : This may be the cause..
2)-And IS IT REALLY NORMAL that when I restart and arrive to the Refit menu, I’m said – i mean its written under the linux logo – that linux is on the storage partition ?
Thank you very much chief for your answer, and have a nice week;-)
October 27th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Hey HydeTech ?
Excuse me again but I think i’ve 1 solution for my trouble with linux.. Just have a look on my last post -> 2) :

October 27th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
yes, make sure you are installing grub on the right partition
October 28th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Hello HydTech
Yes this is exactly the problem :
I mean WITH YOUR PARTITION TABLE-IN YOUR TUTO (That i followed)-where do you install the GRUB to make the quadboot working nice ?
On (hd,0) ?
Or do i have to install it to (hd0,6) ??
Thank you HydTech

Hy HydTech ! How are you ? Fine ?
Well I thank you very much for your answer : So i just Click on advanced and in the drop down box type in (hd0,2) ? And doing so linux (with the pinguin in Refit) will normally boot from his partition.. Ok man
THANK YOU MUCH ; I RETRY
SEE YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS !!
October 29th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Hey chief ?
By curiosity do you think it’s possible to adapt your partition table to this one :
5 Partitions from the Volume Scheme. Label them as follows:
1. Seven (MS-DOS FAT)
2. Vista (MS-DOS FAT)
3. XP (MS-DOS FAT)
4. OSX (Extended Journaled)
5. Free space (Chose from the drop down. will be used for our Ubuntu Linux)
??
The fourth is always Xp : Wich we mark as active as usual..so no pb !
And if after the setting of Seven there is a message of a loading error -> Restore by the seven CD !
The fact we don’t create a data store partition is not a pb anyway if all partitions are read and writen by each 0s !
AND THIS TIME WE HAVE REALLY ALL THE CURRENT OSES USED IN THE WORLD, ON THE SAME MACHINE.. NO ?

good work! This guide was great help, but one more thing is left.
I decided to dual boot XP and Tiger on my iMac so I created two partitions. Tiger is working, but xp stops in the installation process at the first restart because some hal.dll file is reported missing or damaged.
I’ve read the comments above and it looks like I had to create a little partition between tiger and xp, is it possible? Can you suggest me something? Many thanks!

I am trying to quadruple boot a MacPro with four 1 TB hard drives. I want all the operating systems, OSX Snow Leopard, Windows 7 – 64, Windows XP service pack 3, and Ubuntu AMD 64, on the first disk. Half the second disk for NTFS data storage, half the third disk for FAT 32 storage, and half the fourth disk for LINUX storage. I initially divided each disk in half using BOOTCAMP and then used a live Ubuntu CD with gparted to create and reformat the partitions. On disk one partition 3 is for W7, partition 4 is for XP, and partitions 5 to 12 is for Ubuntui. I successfully installed Windows 7, and XP, and could boot into them. I made partition 5, /boot, followed by / and the others for Ubuntu. When it asked where to put GRUB I used the pull down and /dev/sda5. After Ubuntu was installed I restarted the computer and saw the rEFIt icons. No Ubuntu icon! Left to right, an Apple, Windows partition 3, Windows partition 4,legacy OS HD, Windows in partition 3, and Windows in FAT storage. The first two Windows partitions gave me W7 and XP as expected, the remaining 3 gave me XP. No Ubuntu! I then reformated the Linux partitions as ext4 and told GRUB to be installed in ((hd0,4). After reinstalling Ubuntu still no Ubuntu icon. Next to the Apple icon was a windows icon which booted into W7 as before, next legacy OS in partition 4 which led me to the GRUB boot menu with choices to Ubuntu, OSX, W7 in partition 3, and XP in partition 4 and a few others. When I tried to boot XP I got the GRUB menu again. Unable to boot into XP but could boot into W7 and Ubuntu, and I assume OSX, the remainder two icons showed windows and legacy flags, and were labeled Windows partition 3, legacy OS in FAT storage but behaved the same giving me the GRUB menu from which I could not BOOT XP. It looks as if GRUB overwrote partition 4? Although I told it to use partition 5. I attempted to search for GRUB using W7 but could not find it.
How can I install Ubuntu and get the proper icons on rEFIt and run all four operating systems without having to reinstall the MAC operating system and software?
March 30th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
Please see my my comments above for background information.
In that explaination I mention that when I boot into Ubuntu other choices come up which include Windows 7 – 64 and Windows xp. When I use the cursor to boot xp I get the GRUB menu again, When I use the cursor to boot Windows 7 it works just fine. I checked the grub.cfg file and compared the command paragraph for Windows 7 and xp. Except for going to different partitions like what I would expect the xp command paragraph has an additional line:
drivemap -s (hd0) $ (root)
Can anyone tell me what this means and whether it is causing the problem?
Should it be changed or eliminated?
I attempted to create another entry with this line left out but was not permitted to change the file because it was read only. How can I change it?
April 22nd, 2010 at 8:40 pm
I’m currently running on a triple booted mac: snow leopard, ubunutu 9.10, and windows 7. But I want to shrink my snow leopard partition down by 100 Gig and use that extra space to create a data partition that all three OSes can read from and write too. Is there a way to do that without having to reformat my hard drive and start with step 1 in your instruction?
May 12th, 2010 at 8:14 pm
Thank you so much for the guide. In my experience so far, everything has worked for installing OSX, Windows 7, and XP. However, once I got to Kubuntu 10.04, rEFIt would report it as “Legacy OS.” I quickly discovered the solution was to update rEFIt. But my new problem is booting Win7. I can boot it through Grub, but any attempt to boot through rEFIt causes the mac to report “Unable to load windows.” Every other OS boots fine from rEFIt. I’m not sure where the issue is, nor do I know enough about linux/grub to attempt to fix it. Any ideas?
June 28th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Desire: OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard), Windows 7, Windows XP, Ubuntu 9~10
Thanks for the tutorial – but I’m in the same boat as the previous comments. I installed to (hd0,2) and can’t boot into Linux (9.1) and I don’t even see Windows 7 (My choice instead of Vista) from rEFIt. Robert Elkow are you there? Did you find a solution? What am I doing wrong?
I thought I was wrong with a step the previous 3 times I started from scratch, but this time I made sure I followed it precisely. I did and it doesn’t work. Anybody with a better link or tutorial for a QUAD BOOT macbook, with current bootcamp drivers etc.?
Thanks for the help
June 30th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
Trying win7 instead of vista:
installed upto and including winxp. Rebooted before doing any ubuntu stuff and went into OSX. Rebooted and went into Win7 and got “error loading operating system” error.
ps. my macbook cd drive is not supported by rEFIt so i had to install off cd using C key on keyboard rather than selecting cd in boot menu.
July 1st, 2010 at 4:21 am
Once more: Great, great work for that tutorial! The way to make the install is clean so far and as easiest as possible, compar to many other tutorial I found!
Unfortunatly for me, i’m stuck with the same problem as Archie excepted that I’m using Ubuntu 10.04… And no solution found yet!
Any idea?
September 12th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Great tutorial, something I’ve been looking for a while.
I successfully got to the 3rd operating system installed correctly.
However on following the instructions for installing Ubuntu, that seems to have messed up & now one of the operating systems has disappeared from the initial rEFIt boot menu & Ubuntu doesn’t boot up!
I’ve tried to go back to Mac osx to remove the linux Swap space, but its not letting me remove or delete it to start again.
I have spent hours on it, don’t want to start from scratch again!
I had:
Win7
Storage
Win Xp
Mac Osx
Free Space
The version of ubuntu I installed is the latest one out from their site 10.0.4
http://www.ubuntu.com/
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks.
