Pissed multiple operating systems?

Is it even humanly possible to install WIN 98, 2000 and XP Pro on a single hard drive with 3 partitions? I am trying to use Partition Magic Pro and/or the built-in boot manager in 2000/XP Pro and I'm not having much luck.

I've never gone above multiple copies of up to ME, but others have. Would put the 98 on and build the emergency floppies, then hide the 98 and activate the 2nd for 2K, then use the EBDs to hide 2 and activate the 3rd for XP. Then use the EBDs againg to gain control of the boot.

Ya.... some guy on TechTV a long while ago had something like 20 OS's on a single machine. Most of the windows variants as well. It's possible for sure, but a more arduous task than most really want to go through.... why would you want 98, 2k, and XP on the same comp anyways?
