A dual boot can be a necessity for several reasons. The first if you're working in the Linux community, and are a gamer; there are very few games in the Linux world (but that's slowly changing).
This will be a quick overview of how to do a dual boot.
Burn a copy of two or more operating systems to either a flash drive, CD, or any other form of removable media. If you're going to do a dual boot with Microsoft Windows, I recommend you install Microsoft Windows normally, with Microsoft Windows the boot-loader doesn't seem to play well with others. Once you've install the first operating system; that's where it seems to get a little tricky. Linux environments make it a little bit easier.
1. Back up all your necessary files. (pictures, doc files, etc)
2. Burn copies of gparted, and the two or more operating systems you'll be using.
Now, that being said:
First install the operating system(s) of your choice, remember if you're using Microsoft Windows; install that one first. Next install the operating system, if you're using a Linux operating system; use gparted to creating a partition. Once that is done, then put in the other operating system, an install the operating system to the setup you prefer and you’re done.
You now have two or more operating systems on your desktop or laptop... enjoy...
