New partition

[shaggydali1965]

I want to install a second OS on my hard drive, just to try it out.
Can it be installed without formatting the drive so I don't have to install everything again?
What is the best way to do it all?
Cheers guyz.

If you're a non-techie user.

Yes...using partition magic, you can creat another partiiton and then install the other operating system in that partition.

Yes, you could install second OS to a clean partition. Use partition manager, shrink your partition and create new one. So you'll save your first OS and other data. Later you could do partition selector between operation system.
I use this software to create partitions on my HDD. Now I have good organized HDD with separate partitions for my OS, apps and other needed data.
It has convenient and intuitive windows wizard.
