1) You must install Windows first. Install it last and it'll impolitely stomp all over the existing stuff. Leave room for your Linux distros!
2) Install your first linux distribution.
3) Take a close look at its bootloader settings so you know which kernel it loads with what options, initrd and so forth.
4) Install your second linux distribution.
5) Add the settings from 3) to your bootloader settings so it can load your first linux distro as well.
6) Add settings to boot from Windows.

Yes, this is very vague, so is your request. I don't even know what distros you're using, or even what bootloaders.
