Hi guys,
I am currently building a new machine that I plan on primarily running Windows 7 on. I would, however, like to be able to multi boot with a couple other OSes like ubuntu, Open Solaris and possible some others to fool around with. After some research I think I am gonna buy a 500 GB WD Hard Drive and just partition it into like 5 partitions and put an OS on each (I will have Windows 7 on a separate HD). Will there be any problems with this setup? Also, I was looking for a good multi-boot application (preferably free) but all that seems to come up on my searches is Acronis OS Selector for $25. Anyone have any other suggestions for a multi-boot app? Thanks i advance.
