computer. I have heard that XP can do this. Where can I go to get
the details on how to accomplish this. TIA

Yes, you can, but Windows doesn't work or play well with other OSes even
itself. And you would be better off, too, using a third party Boot
Manager. It would be easier (and safer) to use Virtual Machines. That
way none of the OSes know about the others, they are 100% isolated, and
you can run them all concurrently, if you have enough RAM.

Someone suggested VirtualPC, but VirtualBox is better IMO. Of course,
there's always the Rolls Royce of VMs--VMWare. Check your hardware to
see if it meets the necessary minimum requirements for virtualization.
