Cloning 3 existing OS'es to one hard drive

At the moment I am multi-booting into Win XP Pro, Win 7 and OS X Leopard (iPC 10.5.6).

All 3 OS'es are installed on their own hard drives, the 2 Windows hard drives are in mobile racks and I just swap them in and out as needed, the Mac hard drive is in an external USB enclosure.

 

I just bought a 500GB sata hard drive and would like to partition it into 4 primary partitions, then clone each of my existing OS hard drives to it's own partition on the new drive as follows:

 

1. Win XP - 60GB (NTFS)

2. Win 7 - 60GB (NTFS)

3. OS X - 60GB (HFS+)

4. Data - 320GB (NTFS)

 

There are heaps of threads on here regarding multi-booting, and how to make a fresh install of each OS, but I can't find any threads about cloning existing installations of different OS'es onto one hard drive to multi-boot.

 

I have been reading up on GParted to partition the new drive, and EasyBCD to edit the bootloader, but what do I use to clone each OS/hard drive to the new one, Norton Ghost, SuperDuper.

Both Windows hard drives are MBR, while the OS X hard drive is GUID.
