you can’t start Linux from Windows, you need a “boot loader” that lets you choose what operating system you want to start-up with. Also, make sure your drive is partitioned so that the operating systems aren’t installing over each other.

Linux cannot start on windows platform, as it’s file system is not recognised by windows. You can use VMware but better would be to have a Linux boot-loader like ‘lilo’ as Linux knows windows is there but Windows cannot recognise Linux.
I use linux and would encourage you to as well.

This might help you out,give it a try.
you are going to ceate a duplicate profile,one is already on there and the other which you will create you can do anything you want with without screwing up your original setup.
right click My computer,go to properties,choose hardware tab and hit profile button.
you should see 1 profile the one your using
click copy,to create a duplicate profile and name the new profile anything you want.
once done highlight it and hit properties
check the “always include this profile as an obtion”
now reboot and you will be asked to select a profile.choose new one.
You can now configure services within your new profile,only if it’s loaded,chosen.

You want to dual-boot because it’s easier.
VMware allows you to run linux in a window.
Install windows first. Make sure you have space on a hard drive for linux.
Install fedora core 3. The boot loader that comes with fedora allows you to boot windows too and it sets it up automatically when you install fedora.
Unless you absolutely require both OSes running at the same time then whats the point in using VMware.

You can Use VMWARE or Virtual PC. I am using Windows XP and I have installed VMware on Windows XP. Then I run the VMware and I have installed Linux, and I run live Knoppix CD inside VMware Software, no problem so far. Even I access Internet through Knoppix running under VMware.
Great Software –VMware!!!

You have to wait couple of years to do that. AMD and Intel are coming with Processors that are capable of running multiple operating systems at the same time on a single computer. The specs for these processors are already published and these would be available by 2008 or so.
Till then VMware is the only software you can use to simulate multiple operating systems at the same time.

You can do 2 in One…
I have Xp..also..but i don’t use Lunix…
Sorry!!!
