problem with multibooting

Ever since my new harddisk I encounter many problems creating an multiboot enviroment.
This is the problem:
First I installed win98, secondly win-nt server, third win2k server.
Before installing win2k u have to use sp5 on win-nt, otherwise it is not possible to install win2k.
So I did.
What happened is that win2k had removed the bootsector of win-nt.
Than I had to face a problem, which is the os is removed, but not the bootsector.
My question:
1st, How do I remove that bootsector of both the systems, win-nt and win2k, for re-installing these os.
2nd, why is installing several os on one disk giving now that much problems, I never had this before.
What did I do wrong or what did I overlooked?
With regards, Mario

cr

cr(1)                                                         General Commands Manual                                                        cr(1)

NAME

       cr - converts text files between nix EOL and dos EOL

SYNOPSIS

       cr  - | +  <input file> <output file>

DESCRIPTION

       Text  files,  such  as tle files, that come from a dos source usualy have the ^M symbol at the end of every line. Cr converts files between
       the dos newline format and the normal *nix newline format by stripping the ^M to convert dos to *nix, using the '-' option, or adding ^M to
       a *nix file to create the proper dos file when the '+' option is used.

       Although this extra character is not often a problem, programs like seesat5, which are data driven will encounter parsing problems when the
       extra character is present. It is these problems that cr is intended to repair.

   Options
       - | +  One or the other of these options is required. The '-' option is used to remove ^M from all newlines found in the dos file. The  '+'
              option is used to add ^M to every newline found in a *nix file.

       input file
              Fully delineated path to the input file. As this program is used in the dos environment as well, standard input is not used.

       output file
              Fully delineated path to the output file. As this program is used in the dos environment as well, standart output is not used.

SEE ALSO

       seesat5(1), seesat5(7), SEESAT5.INI(5), tle(5)

BUGS

       Cr  is  not an inteligent program. It methodicaly replaces/removes the offending character when it finds it in the correct context. Newline
       sequences found in contexts other than 'newline' will be replaced/removed just like those found in the proper  context.  Passing  a  binary
       file through cr is not advised, for this reason. Send all inqueries to Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>.
