First, if you want 3 OS's, you need 3 partions.

Check out the partitioning guide at www.aumha.org

Also, check out the fdisk page at www.fdisk.com

I have a PDF file that I downloaded that has a detailed step by step guide to using fdisk.
The only info in the document is www.drd.dynds.org
The title is Installing, Partitioning, and Formatting Hard Drives.
