so im guessing, at this point, that i would need to find a fat32 filesystem harddrive? my spare harddrive on my extra computer(slave) is a fat32, but is quite full. I suppose i could ask if i could format, or atleast get some big stuff off it, so i could install mandriva on it..but would it be possible to install mandriva on a spare harddrive?

waiiiiiitttt......So with NTFS harddrive i can't put files on there? So i can't make a OpenOffice Document then save it? But havent lots of people done this with Windows XP and Mandriva dual boot.

i would like to install mandrake 2006 on my extra computer with 2 harddrives(one is full and is fat32) and the other harddrive has NTFS filesystem. I would like to run both Windows XP Professional and Mandrake 2006 on the same harddrive(NTFS filesystem 120 gb). Do i even need to partition the C:\(ntfs-120 gb)? So far, ive downloaded the ISO images(all three) for Mandriva 2006. I burned them to a disk(as image) and currently have them sitting on my desk. I would really like to install Linux soon on there except the only thing holding me back is the partitioning. Can someone please help? thanks in advance
