Yes, you can install both operating systems on same system.

Well sarala and Amar though it is possible to install both linux and Window on same system..there is risk for getting crash easily...due to file system they follow..So dont experiement by installing both at one time.

@Rajani:
@Sarala:
I don't think formating one drive will effect other drives. I am using both the OS - XP and Ubuntu, i have even formated my XP drives almost 10-15 times. Its just once you format the XP drives, the kernel hides the Ubuntu location, so the user wont be able to access the left out OS, thats generally called as GRUB error. You need to relocate the hard drive location on which you have installed the Ubuntu or Linux operating system.

first of all no OS is safe. microsoft windows has just more viruses due to the written code. Mac only has 8 KNOWN viruses. Linux has less than all above

Linux is by default run at a more secure permission level than Windows. As long as you run as a regular user, malware can not install on the root unless you tell it to. Linux ask for permission before anything is installed whereas a Windows box does not unless you set up limited user accounts first :) :)
