    You can download partition magic. There is a option for installing another os. You need the paid version though. Then you would use pqboot which comes with magic to bounce back and forth to each os.

    :?

    well, i know you can install 2 instances of windows onto the same partition. you could probably do the same thing, and just make sure each OS is in a diffrent folder. then changing you boot.ini to match...or something like that

    I also tried to install 2 os on the same pc. You can ceratinly do it if you load the older os first, then install the newer os after that giving them separate folders. In my case I had to do a full format to install win 98 1st then install win XP 2nd. Make sure you have the option of using either one at start up.
