In which order should i install these operating systems..

[Xcom_Cheetah]

I have this 20 GB hard disk lying free and i thought y not plug it into the system and test different operating systems on it.. I m as usual a normal Windows user..

I want to install Windows XP..
Novell Linux 8.x ( which i receieved for free.)
Lindows 4.0

I thought i should install XP first
then Lindows
and in the Novel Linux..

Wot you say... want to have minimum trouble while installing..

The rule of thumb is to install Windows first.

Yes Windows first since it will overwrite the master boot record when installed and you would have to reinstall a boot loader than can loadup Linux if you installed XP afterwords. Do XP, then do the Linux distro's, shouldn't matter what order you do them in.
