When I was dual-booting, I had a boot floppy rather than installing the boot info on the HD. I.e., no floppy led to the default of Win98, but if the floppy was in at boot time, I got a menu (first lilo, later grub). This rendered my Unix OS (RH at the time) invisible to Windows, and Win virus checkers didn't object since the partition couldn't be mounted from Windows and the boot sector contained the standard MS boot program.
