The closest you could get to this is to use Cygwin which is a linux environment for windows. You can't use two operating systems at the same time on the same hardware, it would cause horrible problems since they each wouldn't know what the other was doing and could do dangerous things like trying to write to the HD at the same time.


Edit: I didn't know that sorry

Hello,

using VMWare could help you. It's commercial, but it works fine in windows as in linux (i prefer in linux cause it's more stable). But I don't think your RAM is enough, believe you're running 2 os, this costs a lot of memory. it depends on what you want to run in the virtual pc.

Another solution would be "xen" for linux, but I don't know much about it (hope that will change some day) :-)
For Windows there is "virtual pc", but I don't think linux is supported.

Did you try to emulate single programms using wine, crossover-office or (for games) cedega?

As long as you don't get inside a system first you can always

Get Linux's boot loader Grub or Lilo to boot Windows

or Get Windows' NTLRD to boot Linux.

I think even in VMWare you have to temporarily exit from one system to go into another. Jumping between any two would create conflicts with the hardware.
