To make a bootable CD or DVD with Windows on it, you can use Bart's PE Builder 
(http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/) However, the site says that only XP and 
Windows 2003 will work-  however, you could probably try to use Windows 2000 
as XP and 2000 are very similar. You do have to run the PE Builder from 
within a Windows OS, though. 

To make a multibootable Linux, have a gander at ISOLINUX 
(http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php) It is the bootloader for an i386 El 
Torito CD/DVD live CD and is the basis for almost all Linux live CDs. You 
might be able to use ISOLINUX to boot the PE Builder off the same DVD as 
ISOLINUX >= 1.65 supports booting other, non-Linux OSes off of the same DVD 
as the Linux live system. Some tips for that are available here:

I hope that this helps.
