Most Linux distros recommend pre partitioning for windows and letting Linux
partition itself from unallocated (empty unformatted) space. Most also
recommend putting Linux on a separate hard drive with a Linux boot loader.

| Hi
| I have a question about multiple OS's with Linux.
|
| When you partition the disk for multiple OS's (say 98SE and
| Linux) what type
| of partition do you make Linux and do you let Linux do the
| partitions or can
| you use something like partition magic.
|
| Same question applies if you use Win2k with Linux.
