Hi. I recall somewhere hearing that it was possible to automatically partition the drive, and keep Windows. I blieve you have to tell Red Hat to keep existing partitions, and not to format them. I'm not sure, because I always manually do the job, and don't really like the way Red Hat partitions the drive. I'd rather have /home an/var separate from the rest of the / partition. The reason is that you can later tell Red Hat not to format those partitions in a reinstall and not loose your mail, www stuff, and mp3 files, and what ever you have in /home and /var.
