I'm not very familiar with duel boot systems other than changing the boot menu to 
select which system you want to boot off of.  However, what I HAVE done in the past, 
is to partition my hard drive and install the different version of Windows on that 
second partition.  Then you can change your boot menu to use that partition [partition(2)] 
as an option to boot off of.  You can use software such as Partition Magic to redo 
your partitions without using FDISK and losing everything you have.

Hope this helps!  If someone knows how to install two systems on the same partition, 
that would be interesting information to know. :)
