Multiple distros installation help

[pittlerGG]

I want to put my "old" laptop to use and install several of the most popular linux distros on it. My question is: How do I create a set up such that when I start the laptop a list of all the different distros appear as options?

I have currently windows 7 installed. I want all information, should I format my computer first? Do I need to partition my HD somehow for every distro, how do I do that?

Basically what I'm looking for is a step by step how-to list to do this.

Hello and welcome!

Check the following thread to make sure you are properly downloading the iso file and then burning it to the blank disk as an image:
