Welcome to TN

Check google for multi boot loaders, a friend of mine had the same question and he found something that let him choose which OS to load on boot. Can't remember the name but I am sure google will help.

I was looking for something free software for backup .I could not find anygood one.
I tried quite a few softwares for booting purpose they detect linux on my hard drive but they can not boot from their.

Like boot-us is a great software but gives me no option to add linux to boot.

Thankyou.

you have to add the linux file into the boot.ini file... i did it the other way around though, edited things through linux when i had my dual boot system. Mine was exactly the same way though, i had xp on one disk and linux on the other. Try to install linux second and its boot loader should recognize windows and allow u to boot from both and allow you to edit the names of the OSes in the system properties in linux.
