I'm new here...so HI everybody!

This is my situation: I'm running Windows XP Home on my system and I want to install Red Hat 9 on the same hard drive.
I have an 80 gig hard drive with 58 gigs of free space. My file system is NTFS. The copy of Red Hat 9 that I have was downloaded from their site.

I suppose my question is how do I get started with partitioning and installation? I've installed Linux on a brand new HD at school with no problem, but I've never installed it on a HD with Windows already on it.

Thanks for your help

Be sure you have all the space you want on that drive for XP and install Redhat on the free unallocated space.Maybe make a fat32 partition so you can get to things from both OSes,as Redhat doesnt support NTFS.
