We have a software testing department that tests Windows CDRom software for compatibility with various versions of Windows. I am trying to create a testing system that would allow all the Windows partitions to be on the same system and include the ability to reload all the partitions from backup images.

I am using Fedora to manage the images. Currently I have WinMe, Win2k, WinXP and Fedora all installed. There does not seem to be a way to get WinMe and Win98 to coexist. Also I am using grub as the boot loader. It chain loads to a secondary WinXP boot loader that lets me choose which windows partition to boot. I would prefer to just make the various windows partitions appear on the Grub menu.

Has anybody done this sort of thing?  Can you point me at any good how-tos.
