Linux Mandrake

[Rebirah]

I just got a cd burner and burned the Linux images to CD's. I go through the setup fine, except I'm stuck on one part, I get to the part where it says something about partioning. I'm stuck here because I don't know which one to choose. I also don't wanna mess anything else up, like Windows, so can anyone help me on this?

The options were... Let me think...

Overewright Windows
Create a seperate partion on something windows
And another option

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the non detailed options...

If you want to setup a dual-boot linux/windows system, you'll need to create a separate partition to install linux on. The Mandrake installation can do this for you, if you have unpartitioned harddisk space to do so. You can either find a program to resize your windows partitions, or remove a windows partition with fdisk (and optionally create a new smaller one). If you remove a partition, all the data on it is gone.

If this all sounds like mumbo-jumbo to you, you probably shouldn't install linux.
