Re: Dual booting, dual operating systems.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

If your file system is NTFS then the XOSL boot manager
is a further option you could use. It's free.

Note that if you're a novice to multi-booting, and if you do
not have any Windows installation CDs, then you run the
risk of losing your whole installation. It is quite easy to make
a mistake when installing multi-booting - I would never do it
unless I had a clearly layed out recovery path.
