Irregulars Question: Multi-OS Boot

[Reggie Bautista]

I have a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion PC running Windows ME. I've had a lot of software corruption (long story) and am going to wipe the hard drive and re-install everything from scratch.

I have the CDs that came with the system to re-install ME and all the drivers and bundled software. But since I'm going to do this, I'd really like to try something I've been considering for quite a while.

I'd like to partition the hard drive and install Linux on one of the partitions. Ideally, I'd like to have the computer ask me which OS I want to use each time I power on the PC.

Anybody have any advice or suggestions about how to do that?

I'm pretty tech-savvy (I troubleshoot networked PC's for a living), but I've never worked with multiple operating system on the same machine before.

Thanks in advance.
