Well, recently I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on an portable hard drive to run certain programs on that don't run fast on Windows 8 (Minecraft). I have really started to like Ubuntu, but I also want to test Windows 8.1 Preview on it and get my Dad to try it. My question is that how do I install it without touching Ubuntu, boot into Windows 8.1 or Ubuntu easily, and be able to remove Windows 8.1 without damaging Ubuntu. Also, how would I do this with other Linux distro installs. Sorry for the long question. I'll list my computer specs below. Thanks, and have a good day!
Computer Specs:
