Dual boot
A computer configuration that allows a user to boot one of a choice of two operating systems on a PC. Some possible dual boot combinations include Windows 95/Windows NT, Windows NT/OS/2, and Windows 95/Linux. Some operating systems, such as Windows 95 and OS/2, include a multiple boot option. Older operating systems, such as Windows 3. X and DOS,require the use of a boot utility to perform a dual boot.
