I run a Ubuntu/Windows 2000 setup and use Grub to switch between the two. It originally just ran win2k, instead of going through the pain of repartitioning a drive, I just added a new drive as a master and set the win2k drive as a slave. Then configured grub to trick the bios into redirecting the slave as the master when windows boots (windows is a pain and will only boot unless it thinks it's the master drive).
Here's the last few lines of my /boot/grub/menu.lst file:
title Ubuntu, memtest86+
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
boot
title Windows 2000
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
boot
Or, if you don't want to spend $30 on a new hard drive, you can download a live-cd distro such as knoppix, it will run from a CD and let you experiment with linux without worrying about messing anything up.
