Hi, I'd like to install my copy of Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I've already got Windows 7 and Fedora installed with Grub 2 in the MBR. I've seen guides which let you have Clover manage all three, but I was wondering if it were possible to install SL under my existing Grub 2 so I can triple boot without having to reinstall Windows or Linux?

Cheers!

Suggest a separate HDD for OS X.

For OS X to install, you must have GPT+ formatted HDD/SSD, which means you have to re-install Win7 and Fedora.

You could create a partition on your drive and clone a SL install to it, but the GPT+ drive would still be needed for the original install, so why bother? Especially since updates won't work on OS X on MBR.
