> I want to have XP, Red Hat and Mandrake on it.


I have successfully used XP with Slackware by doing approximately the following:

run liloconf and install lilo into the first sector of your linux partition.
then run dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/tmp/lunix.boot bs=512 count=1 (replace hdax with whatever partition you have linux installed on)
then copy /tmp/lunix.bin to your XP c:\
then edit c:\boot.ini and add a line like this:
c:\lunix.bin=Lunix
here's an example:
==============================
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="M$ Winblows XP" /fastdetect
c:\ulnix.bin="Lunix"
==============================

when u reboot u should have a choice of booting into linux or XP and.. well, hope it works. 
if you give this a go let me know how it goes, I'll double check the setup.
