Yeah, I just posted about this a second ago, but you basically you will lose the ability to use your XP install at first. After you install 2000, 98 or whatever you want, making sure each one goes on its own partition or hard disk, you need to either edit the boot.ini yourself, or run the bootcfg /rebuild command from the XP recovery console. You can get to that by booting off of the CD and then then by choosing R for repair. Read this cut job I did off of Help and Support about it...
SYMPTOMS
After you install Windows XP on a computer that is configured for multiple booting, one of the installed operating systems may be missing from both the Startup menu and the Boot.ini file, which is the source of the Startup menu. As a result, you cannot start that operating system.
The computer has an existing installation of Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000, or Microsoft Windows NT, and also an existing installation of Microsoft Windows Millennium (Me), Microsoft Windows 98, or Microsoft Windows 95.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, use one of the following methods to add the missing operating system to the Startup menu:
Use the bootcfg /rebuild command in the Recovery Console.
Manually edit the Boot.ini file.
Use the Bootcfg /Rebuild Command in the Recovery Console
Note: If your hard disk does not have enough free space to install the Recovery Console, or if you do not want to install the Recovery Console, you can load the Recovery Console when you start the computer if the boot sequence in the computer BIOS is set to include CD-ROM functionality. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then press R at the "Welcome to Setup" screen.
