Yes. You need to create a Primary partition and then a secondary partition.

Then you can choose to boot from the primary partition or the secondary partition in the BIOS. The bigger the hard-drive you have the better, and I wouldn't try it with anything less than 100 gigs.

It tells the computer where to start loading the operating system from; the boot partition. The boot partition is where all the program files (thousands of them) needed by the operating system are stored. If the system partition is deleted; the computer will not find the operating system.
