Need best way to triple boot


I need to find the best way to triple boot XP Win7 and Debian, with Debian installed first on my laptop. VMWare, Wine and Cedega cant do what I need with how I run my laptop, which is equivalent to my portable laptop/workstation.

Is there a partitioning tool in Debian that I can install to make a small partition for each? I also need help setting up GRUB instead of the Windows BL.

If it's an empty system any of the *disk programs should be able to do it that you have available. If you're talking about resizing an in use existing partition that is both a file system and partition table operation and requires a different approach, it also matters if you're running lvm.

That being said if this is an new system you're installing (or don't mind trashing the existing stuff, have backups before doing anything) try cfdisk, fdisk, or sfdisk those are all on my debian stable system at present.
