I'm sure this has been asked before, however, I cannot find it.
I need to install Windows 2000, and Windows XP, and Red Hat 8.0 on the same physical drive.
From what I have gathered so far, is that I need to install Windows (both versions) first, then RH, using Lilo, and then modify the boot loader?? Is this correct? The only linux install I have done before was RH 7.2 about 6 months ago.

Yep that is it, install Win 2K, XP & then Linux. Most current versions of Linux bootloader should pick up the Windows partitions and setup a dual boot and I guess a triple boot for you. If it doesn't pick up the other Windows, then you may need to modify lilo or grub to add it.

I followed the instructions here:

and I still did not get it to load under the windows boot menu, I have to put a floppy in the drive.

I would use Lilo or Grub as you boot loader rather then the win bootloader have you checked out this link http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/Booting_Your_OS/How_To_Triple_Boot_Linux_WindowsNT_Windows98.html
it is for 98 & NT but the process should be similar:D :D
