When you follow the steps to create a boot/install disk and follow through the menu selections for an install, it showed me a list of my HD partitions and free space and asked me where I wanted it to go. It even recommends default partition sizes and asks you if you want to use the boot manager. If you are using NT, the on-line handbook explains how you can use the NT loader for dual booting.
