I have 2 Hard Drives - one seagate 1.2GB nearly full with Win98 and used as primary drive. 2nd drive is Seagate 6.4GB partioned into Drives D (3GB) used for Win98 programmes; E (2.3GB) free and saved for Linux and F (600MB) used as file and document storage. I also have a coverdisk from Linux Answers magazine called the Complete Linux Starter Kit.<br />
My question is this. Is it possible to load straight into drive E without wrecking existing setup and without partitioning and also providing a dual boot.<br />
many thanks<br />

RedHat 6 plus Disk Partitioning

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
