The best way in my view is to get a partitioning program and boot manager.
The partitioning program allows you to create a second primary partition on
the hard drive upon which you can install the second system. The boot
manager allows you to select which system will boot when you start the PC.
This is what I use:

BootIt Next Generation is available from: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/
and it does partitioning, makes a compressed image, does many other
partitioning chores and is a boot manager. It is not quite as easy to use
as Partition Magic but it is half the cost and has more features. Unlike
the crippled PMagic demo, BING is a *full function* demo you can try for
FREE for 30 days. The web site has a lot of support articles.

Depends a bit on which two. As an example if you install win98 on one
partition and then install winXP on another winXP will automatically set up
the bootmanager to allow selection of operating system you want to use
during boot.
