This may or may not help but... have a look at my page regarding dual
booting.
You can dual/multi boot quite easily by simply modifying config.sys and
auto exec.bat
essentially you copy vmlinuz to C:\
and copy loadlin.exe to C:\
then modify the 2 windows system files
I found the how to That I list to be very straightforward and
effective! besides *no cost* to you
good luck
