No, Windows cannot start another operating system within itself unless
it is running as a vm, which windows treats as an executable, do a
little bit of research on it at www.vmware.com

Subject: [syslinux] bootstapping linux from windows/windows shell

Hello:

Can syslinux be used to bootstrap Linux from a running Windows (or 
Windows shell) similar to the way loadlin does it? I mean, run a binary 
and give it Linux kernel and ramdisk as files on FAT or NTFS.

Adding an entry to boot.ini that references files on FAT/NTFS is also 
fine. Touching MBR of disk or partition is not allowed.

THX.
