"Are you going to dual-boot some version of Windows
 and Linux? If so, the Mandriva installer will do a
nice job of it."

Yes, I'm dual booting and for doing this I have just
got a very cool software called "Partition Manager"
which also deals with booting.

I was very happy with Partition Magic before until I
learn that is now a product of Symantec.  My old
version of PMagic does not work with XP, so I got the
PManager which was a good thing for me.

I say that becuase as a newbie, depending on LILO/GRUB
with NTLDR I would have lost everything a few days
ago, so working with a 3rd parity software was my only
way out.

Anyway, what I did with PManager was: paritioning my
80GB in 50GB(XP for my wife and I) and the rest for my
linux to be installed.

When you mention: "Just do  a defrag before installing
Linux", you mean the Windows defrag? Should I do this
in both partitions? the linux partition is already
formated for Ext3 but I can still go back and change
the format.

Would you re-word your recomendation in great detail? Thnx.
