Reply: (edit)I don't use linux but I do a lot of other multi boots using BootIt NG. It should allow you to do what ever it is you wish to do. It has a Full 30 day free trial to try it out. IN THE MATTERS OF STYLE,

Reply: (edit)You didn't say which linux you were using. I tried Slackware and it has a bootloader that allows you to install it on a partition after Windows and have the choice at boot up. If I were you though I would practice on an older machine cause if you mess up the install on a dual boot or uninstall Linux you might end up having to repair the Windows boot loader to get Windows back.
