i want to have a choice whether about to use linux or winxp. i'm using win xp currently and intending to install the linux...
i use partition magic 8.0 to divide my hard drive(i use laptop), and now i got confused in doing this....
my file system now is FAT32, but in the partition magic said it's recommended to be NTFS for the new partition. is that ok for one hard drive to have more than one file system?
and how's the best arrangement for the 2 os and other data storage partitions in the harddrive? becoz i've heard that if 2 OSs can be used in one machine, it'd be better to set both the os partitions in the front..... so
C:\ = windowsXP
D:\ = Linux
E:\ = data....
any comment or suggestion?
