MS Virtual PC is probably not robust enough to handle dual boot virtualization. You need a program like VMWare ESX to run on “bare metal”.

Thanx for advice me..!!!

Is there any additional hardware requirement to run VMWare ESX..
Can i use VMWare Workstation 7 to run dual booting virtualization.. is it possible through this..!!!

Confusion?

You are confusing multi-booting with virtualization. They are not the same thing.

If you have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate, you can use native VHD booting to achive something similar, but you can only do it with Windows 7 and Windows 8. Otherwise, you just have to go through the old-fashioned way and install all of the different operating systems you want on the metal.
