You can use cygwin but that's not linux. I am not a fan of dual boot unless each partition needs access to the physical devices. I recommend installing the free VMware playing than installing an opensource Linux system like ubunto of fedora. Configuration in this fashion allows you to use both linux and windows at the same time. In this configuration, we say windows is the host system and linux is the guest operating system.

If the filesystem or partition is found, the device name will be printed on stdout.
