Yes, it is possible and usually easy

Hi "CrazyHobo0",
Agree with previous response. I have used dual booting of WinXP (used by my wife and coworkers) and numerous Linux distros, usually without bootloader problems. Presently MEPIS, Ubuntu, and Xandros work well on four machines, and I use my favorite Puppy Linux "multisession" "on top" on any of them. Puppy runs entirely and very fast in RAM, booting from/reading from/writing to a DVD. I have no experience with Commander (?do you need it).
Cheers
Septus (aka Eric)
