Did you read about ReactOS before you started playing with it?
They don't seem to have a Forum where you could get good advice
concerting your specific problems. However you might start with this
article and look around the ReactOS site. Good luck.

Use VirtualBox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox).

Install each different OS you wish to use into a separate VM.

Launch one or more all at the same time.

No danger of messing up your main system's boot record.

I tried fdisk/mbr to no avail

I get a grub2 menu from CAElinux, with one choice being XP
the XP menu has XP (removed but still there), MSDOS, and Reactos

I guess current setup would be cool to confuse potential thiefs
But I'd like a sinlge menu for MSDOS, Reactos, CAELinux

I downloaded easy BCD, not sure baout it

y'now i took online advice removed xp fOr reactos, and now reactos has no
wifi or usb access.. ^&$&$#&
