    what is rons tinyvista v2 disk space requirement , is 5gb enough ? as i read it uses just under 3gb space right

    i am thinking this layout ,
    as 1 mac osx need to be primary patrtition so i have no option but to put after xp
    2 this seems onnly way to get more then 4 primary partitions on my 160gb hdd
    3 rest OS is juts for play purposes only
    4 this is why my xp partition is really largest as it will house office ,etc

    ok to answer my own question

    osx will install to a logical partition but refuse to boot from it as it needs its own primary partition , so it will not boot. so either osx must install to primary parition or if you really want to boot osx from a logical partition then you need to to TBOOT loeader which is a revised edition of CHAIN loader file which allows osx to boot from logical paritions

    ie extract the tboot file to c:\ root drive of where your windows is installed
    then edit boot.ini file to
    c:\tboot= "mac osx"

    then save, reboot pc nopw you shold be able to boot from osx instralled to logical partition

    also you cannot put vista under xp menu , as vista uses new bcd config rather then boot ini . so as always xp is not compatible with newer vista . so we need to use grub as main booter for linux , then vista boot loader for xp / vista
