Load them on separate partitions, with the oldest one first. Windows 95,98,ME must go on the first partition of the first logical drive.

No reason to try, and lots of ways to get problems. If you format them all as FAT32 and instal Windows #2 and #3 as logical drives on an extended partition, each will be able to see the data of the others. Or ideally creat a 4th partition (FAT32) that they can all access, just for data.

Akmed:

I have one system that has MS-DOS 6.22, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional.  I am able to boot to any of the above operating systems on the computer without any third party boot manager.

What operating systems do you want to install?
