I have a somewhat curious issue. I'm trying to set up a triple boot on my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.4 with Windows 8.1, XP and Yosemite (OS X).
Can it be done?
My machine can't pull off a VM. All three OSes run fine independently on the machine so drivers aren't an issue. Right now, I'm dual booting with OS X and 8.1. Here is the disk.
I think the issue will be the Windows bootloader. IIRC it prefers to have Windows first for the older OSes like XP.
Has anyone tried something like this?
