Dual, Triple, Quad Boot a Macbook with Mac OS X,
Windows XP, Windows Vista and Ubuntu Linux
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 dont 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.
