I have seen so many howtos about dual booting windows and Linux. |

You can even create a boot floppy or install a program call GAG. I think is also possible GRUB will boot Windows as well. |

You should do a search on Google "dual boot win and linux" |

I do remember trying it with windows 2000, and I think I got it to boot |

windows 2000 or redhat any more. And you know what they say about |
| 34 |
memories being created, so it may (or may not) be possible :) |
