Just wondering if this is possible.
I want to dual-boot with Windows 7, but my partition layout is already pretty crazy and I’d have to change a lot of things to make a room for a Windows partition.
So I’m looking for a way (besides virtual machines) to dual-boot without having to repartition my hard drive.
I’m using lilo as a bootloader

There are methods for booting hard disk and floppy images, but you’d have to have crazy amounts of RAM (the size of the image plus the amount Windows 7 requires) to load it. You also wouldn’t be able to save your changes.http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php…
To dual-boot Windows you will need a boot manager . I think windows xp has a boot manager you will have to edit the boot.ini boot =0 or a 1 or 2 I forget which. What other OS are you trying to boot? I have dual booted Windows 95 and NT, dos and OS/2 from partitions. I have never booted from a virtual image before.
Short of adding another hard drive and configuring lilo to boot off of sda1 instead of 0 for that OS, VM would be about the only way to go.
