ISP Information:
A system that can boot to two different operating systems. Some OSes, such as Windows NT/2000/XP and versions of Linux, allow for dual booting when installed. Of course, you can also use other methods, such as commercial programs that install a special boot partition that is capable of launching operating systems from other partitions. You can also boot to many more than two operating systems on the same machine. ISP Glossary:
