Hi ME

It depends on a lot of things ME and you haven't give any details, do =
you want a description of all the way to install win+linux+free bsd?

I will give you some headinformation here -

You are limited to 4 primary partitions, the logical partitions start =
from 5 and up.=20
Windows prefer a primary partition, and the best thing is to install win =
first.=20
If you use red hat linux and the partition druid you will get problem =
because the druid eats all the primary partitions if you use several. =
Slackware will not give you that problem.

A good idea is to use free bsd's partition program for linux and free =
bsd and windows (well...) partitionprogram for win. Something like this =
- first win, then free bsd and a primary partition extra for linux, then =
when you install linux you install the main (root/boot) partition on the =
partition made with free bsd and use linux partition program to set a =
side a swap partition  (yes, that way it works with red hat too).=20
