This is a very good question, as I just installed OS X on my machine, with two other OSes on it already. When booting, I can only select one of the prior two. OS X doesn't seem to be an option.

Yes you can. Look for the new Chameleon bootloader, or use the older version. If you use iPC release, it will automaticly allow you to boot into your existing Vista installation.

Anyway, there`s whole thread with full guide for dual booting here @forum. Just do a little search

Thanks for replying so quickly.

I have done a search, and this was one of the first threads that popped up. Just thought I'd put the question out there.

I guess I'll have to work on my search skillz.

I tried a couple bootloaders, and the net effect so far is I can only boot with the DVD in the drive, and it only gets me into installer. It installs just fine (both Leo4Allv3-10.5.2 and iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3) but won't boot into OS X...and now, I've lost my bootloader, and can't see my Windows installations either.

I think I'm done tonight...I'll restore my Windows XP partition, and leave it there for now. That SHOULD get me back into both XP and Vista.

I've just had no luck at all actually booting inot OS X.
