Yes, you can have more than two OSes no probs if properly done.

ya sure
suppose you install 98 on C: and xp on D: then you get boot menu of windows at startup to choose a windows version to start.
Now u install linux on E: then u get boot menu of linux at startup to choose the os to start.
alternatively, you can try boot loader softwares like www.xosl.org

it is also possible to install win 98 and win xp on the same partition.
Its possible! But not advised...
Better to install on separate partitions.

you can have more than three OSes installed in your comp. Lyk 2 Flavours of LinuX OSes, 2 Windows OSes
won't there be any problems?
like if a spyware or worm enters so will it effect every win os i have?
