Default Macbook Pro: Can we have Win7 x86, x64, & OSX x64 all on 1 machine??

If possible, can someone reply with some direction? I'm using bootcamp right now with Win7 x64 & OSX x64.

I found sound software to make bootable VCD movies that will work with Dreamcast but the bin2boot.exe isn't supported on x64. I only have the one machine so I am hoping I can add another partition to bootcamp. I do have legit copies of Win7 32 and 64 bit.

Thanks, I love the site!

it seems like the official answer is not possible... boot camp only supports one windows partition. there are lots of forum postings around the internet that workaround this, but it is always do it at your own risk. ie: possible chance of data loss etc etc.
a virtual machine... virtual box / parallels / vmware would be a lot simpler... and should work just fine and would take the 32bit version.

good luck with it.

We have iMacs with a triple-boot configuration, but we achieved this using a Mac server while pushing images. But for your case, you may be able to partition the Windows partition from the Mac's 'Disk Utility'. If you pursue this just be sure to back up Everything from your installed Windows side.

Good luck with whatever you do!
