You don't need separate hard drives to run multiple operating systems. Don't know where you got that idea.

here you go

that explains some,However i just use Norton partion magic

and if you do decide to dual boot anyting make sure you back up all of your stuff before changing anything.
do you have a windows disk or was it pre-installed on your system? just asking so if something goes wrong you can re-install windows ?
