Can someone please tell me how to go about the dual-boot without having to use a partition manager? Thanks in advance.

You can use the built in the partiton manager to partiton the drive. It does a nice job.
I personally have a 20 Gig drive dedicated to linux, and I install the bootloader on that drive only, and then boot to that drive from the BIOS.
