Do you mean one hard disk or one partition.
If you mean one hard disk, you can make different partitions in the same disk and install linux in one of them. Many of us here do that including me.
If you want to run them on same partition try out cygwin.

@shakti

wht face to face he wants to install not to talk

@Orionz

do following
1.

for linux full installation

i guess u will install SUSE Linux

then u require 5 GB partition of EXT2/3 and at the most 1 GB as swap partition ( u can minimaly take 500 MB) swap partition should be EXT2 Or 3
u have to create that partition and linux setup provide format facility

2. install all windows OS that u want with linux
3.install Linux at last
take care while GIVING PARTITION
