Is it possible to install linux then install windows and still make it dual boot?

Thank you

Usually, it is said that Windows boot loader will over write the one of linux's. Usual process is Windows->Linux. If you want dual boot instructions, here you go:

It is possible, but usually it means more work. You may have to create a boot disk for Linux and then re-run the bootloader installer one you get into Linux. If this is your first time trying out Linux, I would follow the instructions on the page that shebang gave you the link to.

If you are about to install Slackware, it is slightly easier. You can just say re-configure linux and then install lilo again....

Yes, it's possible. Move your Linux to slave drive. Make your Windows box ( newly installed or otherwise ), and make it primary drive ( since Windows needs to be the first drive ). Just re-run either Lilo or change drive parm in grub.conf. Install grub to the primary drive's MBR.
