    Lightbulb Hard Drive Partitioning

    Just a very general question.

    I have a 120GB hDD on my WindowsXpSP2 system, this is my slave drive.
    I am currently using 75GB of needed unlosable data. (projects and such)

    I want to partition 10GB for a Linux distro for a dual-boot on that HDD.

    Will it reformat my Harddrive? Whats the best way of doing this without losing everything?
