WOW!! what you need all of those for? I had Xp and BT2 on a box once and BT2 fried my xp.... lol... BT doesn't play very well with others....

Hopefully someone can help you as I have no clue... just wanted to share my experience...maybe someone could help me too... but i'm not too worried about it...

Well that is just completely and utterly bullshit. BT plays just perfectly well along with any other OS and will not intervene with your other installations in any way. Naturally this is assuming that you have a clue what you are doing when you install it to your HDD, otherwise a live USB or CD might be a safer option for you.

I know I was an idiot back then... I didn't know what I was doing and for some reason editing the boot file after a week or so decided to quit working... I was a COMPLETE newb as it is put...
