Dual boot

I'm a bit concerned about the "Hit F6 at boot: for more details. It will auto-erase your
system."
Is it easy just to set up a dual boot system rather than anhialate all my existing pirated microsoft stuff?
Fred
Is dual boot possible?

Fred

The automajick installs will erase your system, so don't do that if you want to save the data...
