This list is not the right place to ask your questions. I've replied here
to let other people know that your mail has been answered. If you want
more help you can reply to me privately and I'll help you as much as I can
and help you to find the right lists to ask.

It's possible to set up from DOS, but I never do it that way. It would not
run "concurrent" but "in place of". Only one operating system would be
active at the same time.

Yes. You can set up your computer so that you can run either linux or
windows. When you are running linux you will be able to read all your
windows files. However, I mean "read" in the sense that the files are
accessible to the system. Many windows applications write files in
proprietary formats --- in some cases it will take a little work to find
out how to transform the data formats.
