This is for those who wish to install OS X and Ubuntu on a System that already has Windows.
This guide assumes that a MBR partition tableis being used.
It also takes into account certain systems that have a RECOVERY partition that may have come pre-installed, as with many popular HP computers.
Partition numbers in steps 6 and 8 are assuming that a RECOVERY partition is pre-installed. If you don't have a RECOVERY, assume these numbers are one less (Partition 2 for Snow Leopard, and Partition 3 for Ubuntu)
If you have Windows 7, it's recommended that you check your current partitions, as some versions may have a System Reserved partition that would complicate things. To remove this partition, Google.
To find out how to modify your Leopard installation DVD for MBR, Google.
There is also a pre-made MBR disc (DVD5) available on many torrent sites, I will plan on testing this for my personal installation.
This is not a tested guide! It is just theoretical and based off of other guides, modified by me for my unique needs.
I plan on personallytesting this guide soon, and will update with my results.

1. Boot Ubuntu (LiveCD)
2. Shrink Windows Partition using GParted
3. Create 2 Additional Partitions using GParted
-1 Unformatted (for mac)
-1 ext4 (for ubuntu)
4. Boot Modified Snow Leopard (for MBR) installation DVD using Boot Disc (Boot-132, Empire EFI, or other boot method; Boot-132 for Snow Leopard is recommended)
5. Open Disk Utility and format unformated partition as Mac Filesystem
6. Install Snow Leopard to Partition 3
7. Boot Ubuntu Again
8. Install Ubuntu to Partition 4
9. Add OS X Entry to GRUB
10. Boot OS X via GRUB (if doesn't work, try using Boot-132 disc again)
11. Install Chameleon to OS X Partition
Your final Partition Layout should be:
1. Windows
2. RECOVERY
3. OS X
4. Ubuntu
