Hi Vinayak, > 1) I would like to know that whether I have format my disk for this > reason ?
You won't have to format your disk; but you'll have to create a new partition to install Linux in. > 2) I want make dual boot i.e. both dos and Linux Sure you can. Although I think you mean Windows and Linux ;) > 3) Or without harming the earlier installation can I do the same? Absolutely. > 4) I have 80gb hdd, I can keep 10-15 gb free for linux installation > (as my main work is on widows platform but due to other work i have to use > linux) 10-15GB is good enough for most distros with a decent set of packages. There are several tools that can help you create new partitions with free space on your hard disk. I'd recommend using a Linux Live CD with GNU Parted to do it; but you can use ParitionMagic or something similar in Windows too. There are several tutorials to get a dual-boot system up and running; do a Google search and you should be fine.
