Windows and Ubuntu dual system separate partition installation method

It used to be installing virtual machines on Windows systems and then installing Ubuntu into virtual machines, but the trouble was that once Windows was reinstalled, Ubuntu was not available. So the best way to do this is to install the two systems into different partitions, and then choose to start one of the systems at startup, and no matter which system you reinstall will not affect the other system. One requirement here is that the Windows version is higher than XP and does not support XP.
