Depends how you install it.

If you use the CD installer, it would install Freeloader onto your
active partition. This would ask you on boot which OS you want to
load. You can configure Freeloader, which OS to boot by default.

Alternatively you can download reactos-xx-binary.zip which does not
contain a bootloader. Unpack it into C:\ReactOS. You can boot ReactOS
by running C:\Reactos\Boot.bat. You have to be in DOS mode for this to
work. You can also create a DOS boot menu including Windoze, DOS,
ReactOS by manipulating config.sys and autoexec.bat accordingly. In
that case you don't need Freeloader.

Thanks,
