help with multi OS setup

[andrey64]

To my computer geeks/nerds out there.

I got my HDD partitioned to:

1. Win7

2. Linux Mint 15

3. Backtrack 5 R3

i want to make another partition #4 for OSX for hackintosh but the bios i must install would be a modded version and it changes my HDD to an AHCI. Would this affect my other partitions use or will i be able to boot any 4 no problem?

Also, would it be easier to just put down OSX first, then bootcamp the rest of the partitions?

Any changes in the BIOS affect the whole system. If you haven't been using AHCI when you installed windows it will just crash when you try to boot it so you need to do this: 

Not sure about linux.

According to that, it shouldn't be a problem. Assuming I'm reading correctly, you'd need to enable AHCI mode for the different OS's (Windows registry, Linux methods, etc), then go into BIOS and enable AHCI, before installing OS X.
