What I'm looking for are how to partician and whom should do the particianing of my drive. This will be done on a laptop with one harddrive. How do I tell my system grub/lilo is the active boot loader and should start before windows boot loader? Are there certain types of opperations in linux which will mess with my windows aria? If I need to re-partician could I re-partician the windows aria in linux?how should I go about erasing a partician if necessary so the other one is un-affected. I will be installing Debian on this new system, so If you can give any pointers specific to Debian installer that would be helpful. Sean
