partition problems: dual-booting

[Larry Hartman]

As an alternative to dual booting, you can also try making a virtual windows 
machine inside Linux......this allows Windows to run inside a window on 
Linux.  I would recommend at least 1GB of RAM to ensure this works smoothly.

vmware  (available through package manager) or  VirtualBox (must download and 
install manually)

Instructions for VirtualBox:
