nearly all distros are installable.
some popular ones are :-

Ubuntu
Xandros
Fedora Core
Kubuntu
Gentoo
Edubuntu
Mandriva
Debian
Linspire
Lycoris
Red Hat
Turbolinux
for more distros, chk out http://www.distrowatch.com

install linux on a different drive. install GRUB loader, which creates a dual boot.

Forget about linspire it's too bad. Rather go for FC5 or Suse. Even Ubuntu is really good and minimal for newbies.
