Ok, thanks.

I also run Windows XP if I create a new partition as primary to run Linux OS will windows then not run because you can have only one primary partition or if I created the new partition as logical to install Linux OS would both partitions (windows as primary and Linux as logical) run as normal or would I have major problems.

Also when I create a new partition can I leave it, then come back to it, to install the Linux OS or do I have to create partition and then install straight-away?

Thanks
