Answer:
Yes, and it's called Dualbooting. The steps to create a dualboot system with WindowsXP, Vista and/or Windows7 are too detailed to list here, but here are the basic steps.
First you need to divide the hard drive into two logical sectors (sections)
1. Using the Windows Disk management program, shrink the original partition
2. Create a new partition large enough to install the second Windows OS
3. Insert the Windows CD which you intend to instsll
4. Logoff and restart your computer (make sure the CD drive is bootable)
Install other version of Windows
5. Install the second version of Windows on the new partition which you just created (likely will be E or F) Make absolutely sure that you choose the Correct Partition before installing the second version of Windows. You don't want to overwrite the existing partitiion.
6. Once installing the second Windows version (this takes at least 45min) the system will restart and you should be presented with an option of choosing between two versions of Windows
* These are only the very basic steps to take to Dualbooting. Do a Google search for more in-depth steps. Particularly when it comes to partitioning your hard drive correctly or data loss can occur
