ive been wondering if i could make somekind of all in one iso cd with partion magic and 3 diffrent systems to chose from and like install them on the diffrent drive's, is that possible?
Not with Partition Magic. If all these systems you want to install are FAT32-aware flavours of Windows 9x (95 OSR2/98/98 SE/ME), then you can just stick the setup files in separate folders and create a DOS startup menu to each one.

This doesn't make much sense. If you want a CD with the installation files for multiple different versions of Windows, then yes, the setup files will co-exist quite happily in different folders, as M. Alexanrs suggests.
You can make a further refinement by making a CD that can boot from one of several different floppy images using Syslinux. http://www.sysresccd.org provides an example of this.
The domain is gone, so i cant get that software you suqested, but i was hopeing somebody could already make a ready one for me so i have to install the systems just with boot menu?

Whoops. I Googled and have fixed the link now.

Well, that would be an illegal copy of those operating systems, now wouldn't it?
What exactly would be the point, anyway? Why not just use multiple different CDs? If you need to run a Windows installation that frequently, you should probably consider using Ghost (or one of vairous Ghost alternatives) to make images of the system immediately following installation.
I "found" a torrent that includes all windows up till XP/2003 on 2 DVDs
It has a Linux boot menu that allows you to select the OS and then as far as the computer sees its jut like booting direct from the original CD
Its really useful as an on site engineer as it also lets you select between OEM, Volume Licence, Retail to match the licencing that particular customer has. In the autoplay it even creates an ISO of an original CD for you. (useful for things like HP Smart start that cant cope with the modified folder's)
The other DVD has Win9x's Useful for backup but my retro PC's don't have DVD drives so haven't really used it.
MS had something similar with their MSDN CD's I remember a Win2k CD where you could choose between Professional and Sever.
Not sure how to do any of this myself though!

Not if you already have a licence to use those OSs.
There's a glitch in the matrix.

Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
