You can’t.

Virtualization could help if you want to switch between OSes without restarting your machine.

    The question contradicts itself. Essentially, switching to a different operating system is the equivalent of restarting. Starting an operating system is what happens when a system is restarted. The virtualization suggestion is appropriate, but it gets around the question by having two "virtual" systems that you can switch between. As far as the two operating systems are concerned, they're running on two separate systems. Tom

    This website will give you the information you need on running XP and 7 together. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ Install Windows 7, download XP mode and you can then run a virtual XP machine ontop of your 7 machine, with the ability to switch between the two.
