2 HDD's, 1 small for NT and not used for Linux. The second has about
40G in all. I remember being confused about how much to allow for the
root (not boot) partition and (trying to) play it safe. I had the
original installation process put the loader on the second HDD and on
startup I tell Smart Boot Manager to boot from that HDD to get Ubuntu
started.
I think the answer to your question is no.
