Im installing Linux for my first time.
Mandriva
What are the safest routes to go so i know i can always restore my current state in windows if somethings goes awry?
Is it logical or possible to use an External HD for linux, and everytime i want to boot linux i just hook up the HD?
If i do partition my HD, then somewhere down the line somethings goes wrong, what are my options then.
What is most likely to occur if something does go wrong?
I already have windows on my HD, i dont have a disk to reinstall.
Thanks everyone who is willing to help
