I kinda understood, but just to be on the safe side & understand better, here r few boring details:That's a WindowsXP question in a Linux mailing list ... I'm not sure you'll get many useful answers.
my HDD is divided into 2 partitions, C and D.... on the C partition I have the Win XP...
_*2 things:
*_i just have to empty the D partition and run the RH9 installation ?!
some programs have links to the D partition, if I re-copy everything that was on the D back to it after the RH setup, will they be able to find the paths again?!
What you could do, however, is use Partition Magic to shrink the C and D partitions and leave some free space on the disk. You'll then be able to install RH9 into the free space.
Perhaps you didn't know, but Red Hat (and Linux in general) uses a file system that WinXP can't even read -- the partitions that Linux uses don't even appear in explorer. On the other hand, Linux will quite happily read and write files on a FAT32 partition (but not NTFS, which is common for WinXP systems).
