    OK, so I plan to triple boot XP, Windows7 & Ubuntu on my laptop which I'm getting tommorrow.

    So... does this make sense?;

    mikedt 你好

    Seems doable, a few points though:-

    1) Do you really need the Linux Swap = 10GB? Are you likely to be running applications which take that much memory?

    2) The EXT3 - Other Distro is likely to want it's own swap partition. Sharing a single swap partition between distros may well cause problems.

    3) NTFS - General = ~160GB [space left] (share files between W7/XP/Linux). I would suggest you have this as FAT32. Depending on the distro, Linux NTFS writing is still considered experimental and beta. Linux NTFS reading is totally fine.

    No
    TBH I was gonna put a 5/6gb unreserved block but felt I might as well merge it

    Oh I'll split it so
    I thought it got wiped after turning off?


    FAT32 is all well and good but the 4GB limit is too small really :S
    I'll consider it (as I am using another said partition for all those small files which kill FAT32 systems)
    Ubuntu is OK with NFTS writing?


    Thanks for the help mate!
