I use Windows 7. I also run Ubuntu 12.04 in VirtualBox. The other day I wanted to try Lubuntu. Is there a way to dual-boot Ubuntu 12.04 and Lubuntu in VirtualBox?

If you just want to test the Desktop Environment of Lubuntu (LXDE) you can follow this how-to and get an lubuntu desktop on top of your current Ubuntu installation.

In this way you don't have the need of a second operating system.
If this is not enough for your tests I'd suggest to install a second Virtual machine is much more easier than having one with dual boot.
