yes you can install n number of os in the sameI was told the limit was 4, not n. I don't know
hard disk , just make sure
you partition them properly , and also make the root
partitions bootable ,
you can use a simple partition manager tool to help
you like ranish boot
manager and if oyou fins it still difficult download
one of those easy to
use gui based boot manager :)
whether it is a BIOS limitation. I think you can't
have more than 4 different bootable partitions in an
x86 box.
Literally You can make all your partitions bootable,
The limitation of 4 is for primary partitions , ie the no of partition
entries
that can be there in the MBR.

This is not an X86 limitation but a standard followed .
