After the death of floppy, the "/S" parameter is even gone from format.com in recent versions of Windows (rather, it now means enable/disable short filename support). And sys.com is gone altogether.

What I meant is that if Windows supports multi-boot, it's only when installing newer on top of older, not the other way around, and maybe both versions have to be consecutive... But again I never tried, and even in that case it may depend on many silly factors, your particular installation disk, maybe even including if it's a Home or Pro, OEM or retail edition...
This is by far the hardest method to achieve your goal, IMO.
OT: What a coincidence, I just got this laptop for free from someone at work
