Depends. On sooo many things... ;-) Is your computer using BIOS or UEFI? Do you have MBR or GPT partitions in place? Shall the different systems be aware of each other? Is it intended for them to share resources? If you can answer with "yes", "yes", and "let's see", the following article is probably quite helpful for you: https://github.com/bourne-again/TripleBoot-UEFI For this to be valid, I simply assume that you have a sufficiently recent PC that no longer uses a BIOS, and you will prepare your disks using GPT.

Does not compute. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
