Hi all!

I've just got my Mac Pro and are trying to get Bootcamp to work as i want.
I have this setup:
One 500gb HD for system (os x)
Two 500gb HD's in raid 0 för media files (os x)
One 250gb HD for win/linux

I want to use the last 250gb hd with 3 partitions XP/Vista/Ububtu
Is this possible?

When i make 3 partitions on that drive and install XP on it, it can't boot xp, i get an error saying something about a missing or broken hal.dll and after some google it seems many have that issue and that making the hd a one partition is the only solution... that seems silly.. that would mean i have to use 3 separate hd's to use xp/vista/ubuntu.

Is it someone who can spread some light on the issue?

I'm a complete Bootcamp noob :eek:

Regards
