Can I install Linux on my PC and Keep Windows?

Can I install Linux, and keep xp and switch between the two? OR can I just use linux by simply putting in the CD. By the way I have Ubuntu, and I want two operating systems just for the fun of it.

Yup. You can either purchase another drive, or repartition your existing one. Use the GParted Live CD if you want to shrink an existing partition to make space. The Ubuntu install will do the rest.
Reply:Sho nuff. You'll need either a partition or a seperate hard drive to pull it off though. There is plenty of info on the net, just google Dual Booting..
Reply:yesthere is a program Called "Parttiion Magic" it allows you to run mutiple os's on one system and when you reboot even give you the choice of which os you want to use
