When you image your HDDs do you boot to the program, or do you use it in Windows? I cloned the drive in Windows and it went 100% smooth. What do you do and what version do you use?

MBR drives are limited to 3 primary partitions. This has no affect on the number of Linux distributions you want to install and run.... After your primary(s), one extended with many logical partitions works just fine. The logical partitions allows you to exceed the 4 partition limit. I think Gparted is the latest partitioning tool people like to use... Linux has come a long way, I'd see how many you can install by just using the installers that come with each distribution. It's been years since I manually created partitions in installing Linux to run with a Windows install and other Linux distros. A start I came across though elaborate. askubuntu.com Thinking out loud, load windows, then load Linuxmint using it's installer, then load Ubuntu using it's installer. Btw, when researching online, watch the dates of the information you're digesting, much will be obsolete. Lot of reading on "installing multiple linux distributions"
