Like all dual-booting processes, you must have ample space in your hard disk to do so, then you have to partition your disk accordingly for each operating system you wish to install.

******

Have a look at WUBI, which is a program that allow Ubuntu to be installed as a file on a Windows computer, without making any changes to the Windows hard drive. It can be uninstalled like any other program using Windows add and remove utility.

Can you use a Windows boot loader to load the Linux operating system?

Yes you can. Ubuntu's WUBI uses the Windows bootloader (NTLDR) to boot Linux. It also uses the Windows filesystem (NTFS). This, however, is not the traditional way to do things.
