installing multiple operating systems - Google Search (http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=N7N&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=installing+multiple+operating+systems&spell=1)

Lots to read there. Many use a boot loader such as GRUB: GNU GRUB - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/)

You also have to be very familiar with partitioning.

I too have been playing around with loading two OS on my laptop. It is not an easy task. But the boot loader GRUB is most recommended. If you achieve any success please tel me.
