ok, install xp first, then use partitipon magic and split it up to 2 more partitions. then install vista on one of the 2 partitions and then install linux on the other partition and use grum to boot your other hard drives. you may have to use fat32 on your drives in order for grub to see them.

If you can see this, you have WAY TOO much time on your hand. Or you're a mod going through my sig. But if you do, copy and past this in your sig.
