Smile 3 Booting Linux/XP/Vista32/Can I Add V64?

Hello. I'm currently running Mepis Linux/XP32/Vista32, and was wondering if I could add a fourth OS, Vista 64 bit. After installing V64, how would I repair the MBR so XP and V32 would be accessible. Wave ByeBye to Linux on this pc, I'll replace it with the 4 bit. Any ideas?

So you're gonna have Vista x86, XP x86, and Vista x64? Just install Vista x64 on the partition used by Linux, and it should recognize the other copies of Windows installed.

May I ask why you want 3 copies of Windows?

Also remember that you can only have one copy of Vista installed per key so you can't have x64 and x86 installed at the same time unless you have two keys.
