Ubuntu + Windows + Hackintosh = ?

Habrasoobshchestvo, a question for you. For some purposes, you need to install Hackintosh on your computer. Not good, I understand, but it is necessary. :(

Now Ubuntu and Windows are installed on two disks (ssd and hdd). Especially for the hackintosh, I dug out a 200 gig hard drive, plugged it in, it works.

So, how I plan my actions now:

  • Disable ssd and hdd with windows and ubuntu, leave only 200 gigs hard
  • Install the latest hackintosh on it (using liveUSB)
  • Connect the disks that I disconnected and boot under ubuntu
  • Update grub to pick up hackintosh

Am I thinking right? Will it work? And what are the nuances?

I turn off hards, because I'm afraid to bring down just perfectly tuned OS. I don't want to restore everything.

If the hackintosh takes off, then there are no problems.

Any Hackintosh has its own Charmeleon bootloader, for example, during installation it finds the rest of the OS itself - it’s quite beautiful, but it’s better to put your 200 gig bootloader as a boot screw and install the bootloader there. Then, in case of failure with Hackintosh, it will be enough to change the boot order of the screws in the BIOS and you won’t have to painfully restore the bootLoader, but if you want to have access to the MAC from under the WIN bootloader, then look towards Easy BCD

Is it necessary to install separate disks?
I have a similar situation, but VirtualBox is enough for me.
Ubuntu 32/64 bits, Hackintosh, Windows - everything works perfectly and with 8GB of RAM, you can run everything together

I just specify in the BIOS where to boot from.

Try joining the Parallles for Windows beta testing program. perhaps more than any real disks will do.

Hackintosh probably won't pick up, did this in grub.cfg
menuentry "MacOSx" {
insmod hfsplus
root="(hd0,1)"
multiboot /boot
}
