Yes, possible of course possible. Any Linux distro has strong GRUB utility which controls total boot procedure and multi OS. If u already installed 7(hope so) simply insert CentOS cd/dvd into ur dvd drive and start installation. Just take care at the time of partition ! ! Never accept system generated proposal, select custom partition. The menu.lst should look like this:
title=Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb2 quiet
title=Windows
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
Best to read this URL and start ur task, but take backups of ur necessary data before doing the task.
