I don't think that a Win9x/7 multiboot is possible "directly".

You may need an "intermediate" loader, such as grub4dos or the 2K/XP/2003 NTLDR+BOOT.INI.

Read (between the lines) here:

Just out of curiosity - does Win-7 allow itself to be installed on a FAT32 volume? Vista?

@sixcentgeorge

Guess WHY the project is called grub4dos and not GRUB?

Not directly, but there are ways.

My guess is that 7 will work like Vista does:
