You would really need to partition the drive into at least 2 drives, and configure each partition as the boot for each version of windows. If you did not I would perhaps consider it insane. I don't think you can actually do 2 windows installs onto the same partition, without the second overwriting the first install.
I have this exact configuration at home. Really depends on how big your drive is, I would suggest 160GB min for 2 drives. I.e at least 80gb or more on one partition.
