Is it possible to install Windows 7 and Windows XP as a dual boot configuration?

I don't know if this is important, but Windows 7 is already installed so XP would be the second operating system. The hard drive is already partitioned into 3 volumes.

Thanks. I hadn't thought that XP would have access to the Win 7 partition, which I would not want. Too bad you can't boot XP from a USB drive and give it zero access to internal drive.

Yep, I have that situation and you can access the Win7 partition from your XP.
