yes you can providing you partition your hard disk,
you could use partition magic 8 this is a good program to use and very easy, but be careful, hit the wrong button and you will loose the lot

hope this helps

MacOS X will only run on Macs.... it's not a PC operating system. And I doubt very much that XP or Vista will run on a Mac as the Mac's hardware isn't standard.
What on earth do you want ultimate for? ;)

As thegamer says, you need to partition your hard disk.

Though you won't be able to install mac OS X: this requires mac hardware.

Yes, but it has been proven that if you have intel porcessor, you can make a mac work on a PC and vica-versa.
That's not strictly true. First of all, it's illegal. You'd have to install the OS from some non-reputable source, with absolutely no guarantees that the thing isn't going to eat your hard drive. Don't do any serious work on a non-mac machine with OS X on it. Secondly, it's only for certain hardware with certain drivers, to get it properly working. You'll probably find that for your particular computer it won't work all that well.
