Install AROS as dual boot on Windows 7

Hi,
I would like to install AROS onto my Windows 7 32bit machine.
I would like the option to choose the OS when booting.
I don't know which version of AROS i need or how to go about creating a dual boot.
Any help would be most welcome.
PS: I have never used AROS before and don't know much about it.

Thanks Kesa :-)
Maybe i should use an external HD first...not a bad idea.
Does anyone know where i get he latest download suitable for Windows 7?
Does it come pre installed with lots of goodies? Games, Apps, demos etc...?

Hi guys,
Well i tried to run AROS from my external HD but had mixed success.
It loaded to the desktop but it seems slow and not much there to be honest. The folders are mostly empty.
When i was loading AROS it was display errors or warning. I have no idea what they were for. I was reading the readme file and it also was saying things about changing scripts for Windows etc...I don't think AROS is for me.
I was hoping i could just pop the DVD in and run AROS without problems but i guess my expectations where probably too high (unfairly i guess)
Is MorphOS much easier to install? does it just work out the box without all the tinkering and changing settings etc...?
Thanks
