Triple booting (Windows 7 Ultimate, OS X Yosemite, Linux)? - jazzycool - Jan 20, 2015
Hey guys,
I just completed building my PC and I want to install 3 OS on it. So here is how I wanna do it,
240 GB SSD - Divide it into two partitions - 140GB and 100GB - 140GB will go to windows and 100GB will go to OS X. Then I have 2 x 1TB hard drives. The first one I want to dedicate the whole drive to windows, but the other 1TB I want to divide into 750GB and 250GB. The one with 750GB will be used for storage and applications on the Mac. The other 250GB will completely be dedicated to Linux.
How can I go about this as I mentioned.
I would highly appreciate your help.✌✌😁😁

Try using virtual Box You could learn more about it in the VM section

Well sir I know about it, but I want to have a fresh install rather than on virtual device. Thank you

Is the OS you have on there now OSX or Windows?

Guys... He is BUILDING a PC, therefore creating a 'hackintosh' but he wants to also have Windows and Linux. Well you can find many better guides on the internet but first make sure your pc parts are compatible using the tonymac site, then create a bootable osx usb which requires to be made on a mac (or possibly a virtual machine osx). Then from there, use guides to dual boot.

Have the same set-up on my PC. You need a completely clean and formatted main HD (no OS installed). Here is how I did it:
1.) Install OSX first, due to the fact that you need to format whole HD to MBR. Follow specific Hackintosh guides.
2.) Install Windows on separate partition created NTFS. You won't be able to access your OSX partition just yet.
3.) Install Linux on separate partition EXT4 with updated GRUB bootloader. It will take care of everything and you will be able to choose OSX, Windows, or Linux at computer startup.
Good luck and have fun! Any questions or problems you encounter, just post here and either myself or someone else in the community will be happy to lend you a hand.
**As a note of caution, OSX Yosemite is hard to Hackintosh at the moment due to the way Apple redesigned OSX. I would recommend either waiting a while for more information to surface or installing Mavericks in the meantime.

I thought you can install windows and mac os on the same SSD. I am not sure about it.

Yes, you can. Just have to install OSX first due to the built in partitioner formatting whole SSD to MBR. Then install Windows, create a seperate partition on SSD using Windows built in partitioner and format that to NTFS. Then install Linux on yet a new partition, formatted EXT4, and update the GRUB bootloader to show all installed operating systems at startup.

Well i was thinking on using chimera for all OS just because it looks more polished and clean with different themes

Hey so I actually am doing the exact same thing with a 120 GB hard drive. I'm running OSX 10.10.3 and Windows 8.1. I installed OSX first, then installed rEFInd, and then used Boot Camp to run Windows. I know you might want to just Hackintosh without Boot Camp, so I suggest using MultiBeast, and Clover Bootloader. I hope this help, just pm me if you need any additional help or have any errors. 🎉
