Okay, So I am building a new computer and need to install 3 Operating Systems; Windows 7, Suse Linux 11, and SCO UNIX (Very old version that only takes about 1gb). So far my idea is to Install all 3 on a 120gb SSD and use a 1 terabyte HHD for all of the data. I am thinking of installing windows first on a 100gb partition followed Linux on a 15gb partition and then Unix on a 2gb partition. Would the hhd for the data need 3 separate partitions? and are their any problems or advice that you experts can provide? THANK YOU for any advice and help!!!

That will probably work. Probably.
But on a 120GB SSD, there is really only ~85-90GB usable. Actual space will be 111GB, and you need to leave 10-15% free for TRIM. Leaving around 90GB max.

But consider virtual machines for one or both of the Linux/Unix OS's. Especially the SCO UNIX. You can have them live on the HDD.
