three different os's

[Werewolfdaddy]

As this concerns triple boot with ME, XP and Mandrake 8.2, I didn't think that any of the other forums were appropriate. I have ME loaded on a 8.5gig part and am about to load xp on a separate part. ME is fat 32, ofcourse and XP will be ntfs. The drive I have is 80 gigs and I was going to make Xp about 60gig and leave nearly 10gig for Mandrake. I have a prior Hard drive with XP on it, but I plan to put that on this one, a direct copy if it is possible. I've read up on it, but I want to make sure that I do this right. Can any help me step by step. I came into possession of a copy of Partition Magic 6, but it doesn't make mention of XP or Mandrake.

Good news!!! I got it working on my own. I installed ME, then XP and then mandrake. Everything is on. Mandrake is a little flaky though, but that's more because of me.

Which boot manager are you using? pm, lilo, grub, xp's? I know XPs boot manager writes over just about anything else.

Just curious.

It looks as if Mandrake's boot manager is in charge.
I first installed ME with a fat32 part, then XP with a ntfs and then I installed Mandrake. After I put mandrake on, the computer loads to a mandrake screen that gives me a choice of OS's. Linux, something, Windows, etc. When I choose Windows, it takes me to a choice between XP and Me.
