I want to install Linux as a dual boot so how can I partition my HDD for Linux and keep all my data? Do I even need to partition? I'm using Damn Small Linux. Step by step instructions would be appreciated. Thanks so much

oftentimes whilst Dell ships desktops, they use a "masked partition" to place the device restoration function on, subsequently, not each and all the 80 gig could be obtainable. once you install Linux, it supply you the choice to configure your boot loader, which will enable the two living house windows or Linux to be run. in case you prefer purely Linux on the computer, purely delete all NTFS partitions interior the Linux installer, then create your "/boot" "/substitute" and "/" partitions, and Linux will run advantageous.
