Sure, make 2 primary partitions (you already have Windows HP installed on one) and install Enterprise on the other.

Why do you want Enterprise ?

And a better question, why do you want 2 installs of 7 on the same machine.

Post us a shot of disk management, fully expanded, so we can advise.

sure bro i will post, am a final year undergraduate, as my final year research I'm trying to create an efficient error reporting system, in my case i am using windows expression encoder to create screen cast, in my office i am using windows 7 enterprise when i try to use the expression encoder in this machine it works fine, but it don't work with my laptop, am using Visual c# and the .net version is 4.0 (Client profile), but i need to demo my project in my final presentation so that i need to install the enterprise version that's why i need to do-this, as i know i have another primary partition in my laptop since i was using the windows 8 with windows 7 previously in dual boot mode

So then just install it where you had 8.

It uses a different activation method but I've seen nothing to indicate it won't cooperate in a normal Dual Boot Installation - Windows 8 and Windows 7 or Vista - Windows 8 Forums.

Let us know how it goes.
