Dual Boot Windows 7 and Windows 8 Using Multiple Discs

[Auslogics]

Would it be possible install Windows 8 on a separate partion using for example- 3 discs with different setup files on each one?

My first post, so- please give my tips if I am unclear.

Yes, it is possible.
If you have already installed windows 7 just create a new partition under "disk management" utility with at-least of 15gb, then insert Disc 1,and boot from it and install windows 8 on newly created partition.Similarly put other disc when prompted.

Welcome to the forum,

Here's a great tutorial from our sister forum Windows 8 Forums

Any other questions just ask.

Thanks. I wish I could just use my 4.7GB disc, but my other computer doesn't support it...

You're welcome.

What about a USB drive?

I would, but my USB is only a 4GB. Though the ISO is 3.6GBS, it all the ISO burners I have tried have reported that there's not enough space.

You need an 8gb memory stick to install windows8 64bit,however you may download and install a 32bit version using 4gb memory stick.
