Don't use myself, have a look at these.
Virtual PC ( VPC )

3) Excellent VPC Resources
As mentioned in the previous item, a Virtual PC makes it incredibly
easy to pop in and out of different OSes for testing or exploration;
without having to shut down, reboot, or alter your main desktop in any
way: Each of the other OSes runs in its own private, protected memory
space *inside* your regular OS. In my case, VPCs have become a mainstay
of my everyday work environment. (

)
You can still get a free trial copy of Microsoft's VPC at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx , or an
open-source VPC at
http://bochs.sourceforge.net/ ; and there are others
around too. If you haven't played with one yet, I urge you to give it a
go.
It's not hard at all to get a VPC up and running, but to get it running
really well, or to unleash its full potential, takes a bit of
investigation: These were originally developer tools, and the learning
curve has some odd speedbumps scattered about that may take you by
surprise.
But there's plenty of help available. These are the sites I found most
useful in getting the most from my VPCs. Maybe they'll help you, too:

================================
vSubst v1.7 - 32-Bit-SUBST
http://home.tiscalinet.ch/t.bigler/utils.html
Creates drive-letters for any folders on your harddisk. Useful to
create virtual drives e.g. on laptops.
Allows easy removal of all virtual folders (= Visual
32-Bit-SUBST-Command)
Limitations:
· SUBSTed-drives don't operate 100% in networks
· Some copy-protected CD-ROMs check for the physical presence of a
disk...
· Volume-Label is always identical to the host label.
· vSubst just creates a virtual drive like the old subst-command -
nothing more or less.
