I don't remember the exact steps but I can give you an idea and the basic funda to install two OS on a single machine.

Before starting the installation you should ensure that there should be at least two separate drives in the system (say c and d) and lets assume windows 7 is running on c drive.

Insert the second operating system CD (say XP) and restart your machine. Select boot from CD when prompted.

select new installation when prompted.

select d drive when prompted AND start installation.

after the installation is completed and when the system restarts it will show both the operating system installed and you can choose the one you want to boot.

Thanks,

PB
