Triple Booting

Allright guys, I am a linux noobie, I have messed with it some (backtrack) but I don't know a whole lot. I am going to networking security, and I am in a linux class now. We are using fedora. On my laptop, I want to triple boot. Right now I have just 1 partition, with windows 7 ultimate x64 installed.

I am wanting to triple boot windows 7, windows xp x64, and fedora 12 x64.

I am getting ready to format my laptop now with xp installing first. Then I will do windows 7, and then lastly fedora.

Do I need to do anything special while installing fedora last?

I have a 300gb hard drive, and I plan on having 100 for xp, 150 for 7, and the remainder for fedora.

I have a big book on fedora, and plan on trying to learn as much as I can, with you guys to help haha.

Thanks in advance.

You shouldn't have to do anything special. Win 7 will handle booting XP and Fedora will handle booting Win 7. You'll likely have 2 boot menus. If you choose Fedora then Fedora it is. If you choose Win 7 you should get a choice of 7 or XP. Really pretty simple.
