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.

module::install::admin
Module::Install::Admin(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Module::Install::Admin(3pm)
NAME
Module::Install::Admin - Author-side manager for Module::Install
SYNOPSIS
In a Module::Install extension module:
sub extension_method {
my $self = shift;
$self->admin->some_method(@args);
}
As an one-liner:
% perl "-MModule::Install::Admin" -e'&some_method(@args);'
The two snippets above are really shorthands for
$some_obj->some_method(@args)
where $some_obj is the singleton object of a class under the "Module::Install::Admin::*" namespace that provides the method "some_method".
See "METHODS" for a list of built-in methods.
DESCRIPTION
This module implements the internal mechanism for initializing, including and managing extensions, and should only be of interest to
extension developers; it is never included under a distribution's inc/ directory, nor are any of the Module::Install::Admin::* extensions.
For normal usage of Module::Install, please see Module::Install and "COOKBOOK / EXAMPLES" in Module::Install instead.
Bootstrapping
When someone runs a Makefile.PL that has "use inc::Module::Install", and there is no inc/ in the current directory, Module::Install will
load this module bootstrap itself, through the steps below:
o First, Module/Install.pm is POD-stripped and copied from @INC to inc/. This should only happen on the author's side, never on the end-
user side.
o Reload inc/Module/Install.pm if the current file is somewhere else. This ensures that the included version of inc/Module/Install.pm is
always preferred over the installed version.
o Look at inc/Module/Install/*.pm and load all of them.
o Set up a "main::AUTOLOAD" function to delegate missing function calls to "Module::Install::Admin::load" -- again, this should only
happen at the author's side.
o Provide a "Module::Install::purge_self" function for removing included files under inc/.
