Ubuntu

macbook pro 3boot system

Asked by dallalba graziano

Hello, i have MacBook Pro with Os Snow Leopard and win7 32bit in boot control under bootcamp.
I need to install also win7 64bit because i can't upgrade my existing win7 32bit due some application .
i will like to know if is possible use UBUNTU to manege the hard disk partition and install also win7 64 bit .
And if UBUNTU at start up will be able let me choose the System i like to use .
Better if the systems can't see each other partition.
Thanks
Graziano

You can use gparted in LiveCD to resize and manipulate unmounted partitions. Be sure your backups are up to date to prevent data loss.
Ubuntu can access NTFS without issue. WIndows is very limited and will only be able to acces it's own partitions.
Grub, which Ubuntu uses as a bootloader can allow you to select the OS you want to boot
