1) Defrag your hard disk . This will leave the final part of your disk -
from some sector x on - empty.
If you never did it before it will probably take a lot of time.
2) Now you must create a new entry in the master boot record. You can easily
do that with
Partition Manager by Mikail Ranish :

3) And in the end you have to install a boot manager. I use the simple and
effective Boot Control by Gertjan
Klein ( sorry , I don't remember the www address . Let me know if you
want try this and I will send it to you by
email )
Just one advice . Manging the master boot record is potentially very
dangerous . Therefore always read carefully the manuals that come with the
software you are going to use before acting .
