On my own home computer I set up a Dual-Booting of Windows XP and Win64 (to take advantage of the 64 when I can and use XP when a program isn't supported by 64). I used this article at PC Stats:

And had no problem doing it at all. Now, unfortuantely, I'm having an issue trying to do the same thing with the new office computer and Korean Windows. I've partitioned the second hard drive and put the disc into the drive and restarted the computer (as per instructions that worked with the Win64 disc), but every time it tries to boot from the Korean Windows disc, it just boots regular Windows instead.

Any idea what to do?

Are you sure you went into the BIOS and changed thew boot device to the CD-ROM? Sounds like it's not reading the CD drive on boot and just going to the hard drive. Go into the BIOS and changed the boot device to the CD-ROM first. It should then ask you to "press any key to boot from CD..."

Problem solved--I installed the Korean Windows through the English Window's screen--double-clicking the CD-ROM icon and such. With a little help from our Korean tech guy all is now well.
