Hey, this question is generated purely out of my lack of knowledge.
Ok, obviously you can partition hard drives, I have Windows 2k, and can partition it from administrative tools, however, all of the help sections have utterly failed to give me any information other than "when you partition, it will not affect any of the necessary windows files" big help there... will it nail all of my other stuff to? i need to set up a 20gb partition to slap on redhat or mandrake (suggestions on which to use would be appreciated to) I have never used linux on my personal PC, nor have I really had the chance to explore it at the office either.
Basically my q is: if i set up a partition with windows 2ooo on, will it "cut" any of my files in half?
again this is founded off of my lack of knowledge, so please bear with me...
Thank You
