Microsoft has several KB articles on multi-booting, but MS approach is
limited, so you might want to consider BootItNG or PartitionMagic. I
prefer BootItNG (www.terabyteunlimited.com) because it can handle an
unlimited number of primary NTFS partitions by hiding some from the MBR.
PM can only handle four primary partitions and you can only boot an NTFS
partition if it is a primary partition.

I typically install the OS and apps in one of many OS partitions and
share a single data partition among all the OSes. So when I boot, there
are two partitions visible and the others are hidden.

See

for more information on the Microsoft approach, which requires no
third-party software.
