Dual booting does not imply booting both simultaneously. It just means the options of selecting either or.
If running both systems at the same time were possible. Then there would not be a need for applications such as Wine, Bochs, Plex86, Vmware, VPC.

Install GNU/Linux, then install something like Bochs or obtain a trial of VMware, then setup the virtual machine to load Windows. Now, you can boot GNU/Linux and run the virtual machine which will load MS Windows. Now, you will have both operating systems running at the same time.
