Your question is not very clear to me. Let me provide this answer and if it
is not what you want, post back and ask again.

When I set up multi boots, I use a partitioning program to create additional
primary partitions upon which to install the systems. I then use a boot
manager to select which system will start at boot. I use:

BootIt Next Generation is available from: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/
and it does partitioning, makes a compressed image, does many other
partitioning chores and is a boot manager. It is not quite as easy to use
as Partition Magic but it is half the cost and has more features. Unlike
the crippled PMagic demo, BING is a *full function* demo you can try for
FREE for 30 days. The web site has a lot of support articles.

Hi
Well I have a computer with 3 Operating Systems.
1.Win98SE
2.Win2000PRO.
3.WinXP

I used FDISK in ms-dos mode and created 3 partions on a 7.35GB HDD.
And Windows thinks there are 3 HDD's when ther is just 1 HDD.
C:
D:
E:
are the names of each partions of the HDD.
F:
is the CD-ROM.
you DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF SOFTWARE TO DO IT.
But you have to install Windows in order.
This may help you.GO TO:

One disadvantage of setting up a multi-boot system this way is that
the non-booting operating system partitions are visible and therefore
can be contaminated by file versions that are unique to one of the
other operating systems.

If, for example, the Windows XP version of Kernel32.dll somehow got
copied to the Windows 98 partition and overwrote the Windows 98
version of Kernel32.dll your Windows 98 would probably be unusable
until the correct file version was put into place.

I therefore favor always using a third party boot manager program when
booting multiple operating systems, and configuring it so that the
non-booting operating systems are always hidden.
