Well,there is something called as a virtual PC which lets you do the same.
I suggest a free Virtual PC software like MS Virtual PC
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx
Go thro the same.
Hope that helps

Hardware virtualization allows for running more than one operating system at the same time, via nanokernels or Hardware Abstraction Layers, such as Xen.
I have heard of running Windows 2000 and Redhat Linux at the same time by means of VMWare.
I do not know if it is possible to do the same with
two versions of Windows.
There has to be a way for the low level hardware of your machine to distinguish between the two operating system kernels.

It's pretty easy to run two operating systems. Sometimes it is difficult to run two installations of Windows. I highly suggest backing up anything important before attempting it.

I recently read that this can be done but using a switch (to switch back and forth between OSs). The switch costs about $400--cheaper to get a second computer!

possibly by having a linux box running two instances of Bochs Emulator ( find at: http://bochs.sourceforge.net/ ).
