It is not possible to install any Operating System next to another on the same partition. To dual-boot Windows 7 and Windows XP, first install Windows 7, and while in the partition manager, delete all partitions and create one for Windows 7 and one for Windows XP. Then install Windows 7 to it's partition. Then install XP to it's partition. You should now be able to boot either Operating System.
Note: You must install XP after Windows 7 as the Windows 7 installation wizard would want to upgrade XP.
WARNING: This will erase all of the data on your hard drive. Be sure to back up all of your files before installing anything.
