Tri Booting OS?
I was wondering if it were possible to boot three OS, XP MCE, Vista Ultimate, and Ubuntu.

Yup Triple booting is definately possible, I do! It's all about the order really.
If you like GRUB- XP Vista Linux If you want to use the windows boot loader- XP Linux (here are the instruct for booting mepis from MBR(boot.ini) http://www.mepis.org/docs/en/index.p...he_Windows_MBR - same for ubuntu (almost) Vista Although you can install them in any order, just requires more fiddling)

Make sure to partition one of your drives.

If you set up partitions for all the different drives, you sure can.

So I bought an 80GB SATA HDD for an OS drive... should I make it three partitions or what? And could I have them labeled A B and C, where C would be default boot? Or are A/B locked out for the obviously-not-outdated-floppy?
__________________What is Grub? I've never even dual booted before, so I don't know how the process goes (although I did know a partition was necessary  ).Thanks for the help so far!

I would honestly dual boot with Vista Ultimate and Ubuntu, XP MCE is obselete as you have the Media Center included in Ultimate anyways and there is no real difference in terms of hardware/software compatiblity between the two.
