Usually Windows setup should automatically set up the multi boot mechanism when installing a second Windows on the same system. But obviously it sometimes doesn't.

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;289022 for information how to manually set up a multi-boot system. More information on the boot.ini file: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;314081

Please post here again if you need more help.

P.S. Welcome to the Forum!
