(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In this tutorial we will be tri booting with
1. Windows 7
2. Ubuntu
3. linux mint

First of all download winrar if you dont already have it.
Second download the iso files for the OS.

ubuntu - You must login or register to view this content.
linux mint - You must login or register to view this content.

Once their downloaded make 2 folders, one called "ubuntu", the other "linux mint"

put the .iso file for the OS in the corresponding folder.

ubuntu - ubuntu
linux mint - linux mint

now right click both the .iso files and hit "extract here"
Once their are both extracted 100% click one of the folders ex: ubuntu
find wubi, and start it. (it may give you error just keep hitting cancel)
Once there just hit ubuntu, 17GB, and C drive.
Continue . . .

Wait like 5 minutes in the installation
Reboot computer, and hit enter on ubuntu
( it will install, it takes like 10minutes )
now you have ubuntu :y:

restart computer and hit windows (not ubuntu)
Once loaded go on desktop and open the folder "linux mint"
Now instead open "mint4win.exe"
Do the same as you did wubi
continue . . .

wait till done installing the reboot computer
now you should see
    
* windows 7
* ubuntu
* linux mint


hit linux mint, and wait for install (10 minutes)

do all the updates etc. now you have 3 operating systems on 1 pc!!!

Tri-Booting, even dual booting is hard on laptops, because it takes up a chunk of memory, and DOES slow the system down, i suggest only dual booting to test an OS if your on a laptop, if you are on a desktop then this will work fine. Also if you have a large external drive, (mines 1TB) you can put alot of OS's BUT they are slow because its being run via usb. But its good to show friends, and install on their computers if they like it. Hope you all enjoy linux Happy
