    Dual Boot

    Is it possible to create a dual boot with WindowXP in one partition and a copy of a bootable cd to another partition? Once it comes up, by default, it will boot into WindowXP unless the user select the other choice. If the user select the second choice, it loads DOS base software such as Acronis.

    In other words:
    -how do you create a dual boot?
    -how do you create a bootable partition?
    -how do you copy a bootable cd to a partition?

    Thanks
