I would like to run multiple versions of IE in order to test web sites. Can this be done? I'm thinking of creating a dual boot running a second copy of the OS and then installing another version of IE.
 
As long as you have a genuine dual-booting system, it should work, you can't install different versions of IE on the same Windows installation.
 
Remember to install IE into a different directory.

original
c:\progam files\internet explorer

5.01
c:\program files\ie5.01

etc.

As Paul stated, It has to be a dual-boot system.

Installing to two different directories on the C: drive will not work.

The last one you install will overwrite files in the c:\window\system directory or end up failing half way through the install.
