For a dual boot - why not go to a computer store and buy one of those things
where you can swap hard drives like disks? They are around 30$, then for
linux get a cheap 3 gig. you could run the same, but I would reccomend more
space for nt.

i have slink + NT workstation 4.0 on the same machine both booting from the
hard drive. i followed the instructions + downloaded appropriate software
(required only for NT part) from
http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/Multiboot-with-LILO
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html
