Please tell me that can we have a dual boot system having windows on one system and linux on the other.

Do you mean having both windows and linux on same system?
It is possible.

the best soln will be buying two hard disk,

one for windows
another for Linux

set boot priorities while booting

defently u can do that ..just install any disto like RH,suse ..u have to install a boot loader like LILO or GRUG .. or use any theard party like bootNG

hmm u can even install linux on fat32. there are some distro's dat u can run just by clicking the start menu.

i don't remember there name hmm was it monkey linux something there are many more...
where is gnurag

he will give u more distro's name.

For a newbie i recommend to go for mandrake,suse or knoppix. They aer pretty cool ones

..:: peace ::..
