    Default Triple-Booting?

    I have XP and Vista, dual-booted, but now I want to install Windows 7 to but don't want to loose either of my current partitions, is it possible to triple boot? or is that a bit to extreme?

    I also have another question, seeing as though Windows 7 has the same system requirements and stuff as Vista, does that mean that my drivers that work for Vista will also work for Windows 7?

    +REP to whoever gives me the answer.

    As far as I am aware, you can run as many operating systems as you have partitions. So if you were to set aside a third partition, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to run a third operating system. No different to what you have already done, really?

    hmm, thanks, if I installed Windows 7 it wouldn't bugger up the Vista bootloader would it? I hate having to re-install the bootloaders etc.

    Will my Vista drivers work for Windows 7 or not?

    Most drivers will work with Windows 7, but that doesn't mean you'll find some that won't. I'd suggest using something like EasyBCD for this, makes editing the bootloader alot easier.

    I have EasyBCD, but does EasyBCD work on Windows 7?

    If you have XP and Vista installed already and now installed 7 on a new partition you wouldn't have to do anything the boot loader from 7 would find Both XP and Vista and your new 7 would all be bootable.
