The ULTIMATE Internal (converted to external) Bootable Hard Drive

I have recently obtained myself an old 40GB Seagate Hard Drive. I bought off eBay about 3 months ago these 2 cool cable. One plugs into the 4 pin power connector of the hard drive and runs into the wall outlet, and the other has a laptop IDE connector on one side, a 3.5" IDE connector on the other side, and on the top and sata plug to connect a sata cable to. Pretty much you can convert any hard drive into an external hard drive.

With that said, I have this 40GB hard drive that I have hooked up as an external hard drive. I want to install Windows XP Home (x32 and x64), Windows XP Professional (x32 and x64), Windows Vista Home Premium (x32 and x64), and Windows Vista Ultimate (x64) and make it so I can select to install anyone of these operating systems in the system it is hooked up to. This will pretty much allow me to throw away 7 CDs and just have 1 bad ass device.

Anyone have any suggestions on what would be the easiest way to do this? I have the installation CDs for everyone of those operating systems so I can make a .iso of them if neccessary.

Thanks for the help,
Jordan
