Dual boot windows 7 and server 2008?

I have a laptop that has windows 7 home prem installed on it. I have a single hard drive with 2 logical partitions c and d. I have windows 7 on c.And d is empty for data. I want to install server 2008 on data d patition. How can I do it? Can I use the boot to vhd for installing server 2008 on data d:here or, does having windows 7 home premium is problem here? because win 7 home pre does not support virtualization.What are my options? If i have just option of making it dual boot the old way,will it work? Has anyone please tried it first installed windows 7 and want to dual boot it installing server 2008
