1. Gparted Live CD
There's loads of ways to partition a hard drive. But, when you're dealing with
several filesystems the
GNU Parted Live CD
is fantastic. Download the ISO, burn
to CD (you can ask Google how to do that...) and boot from the CD. You'll get a
nice Gparted GUI where you should setup the MBR partition table as above. You'll
need to resize the XP NTFS Partition first, then create the other partitions. DO
NOT FORMAT THE NTFS PARTITION! OK? Good. Or you'll lose your XP stuff. Which you
have of course backed-up, right? Good. Off you go then.
Give the partitions sensible names - those names will eventually be what you see
on your OS selection menu at boot-up. So, maybe 'MACOSX', 'LINUX', 'SHARED'
might be good choices... It's up to you, they're just names.
