[dba-Tech] Dual boot Windows 7 and Linux

I've read about setting up a USB as the Linux boot but never tried it yet.
Assuming that you do this setup, how do you set up the file system so that
it understands that part of the hard disk belongs to it? Alternatively, I
guess I could spring for one of those 16GB USBs. That would be more than
enough space for my needs.
