Not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but I thought I'd give it a try...
I really want to get into Linux, but for now, since I'm using CAD and 3D software as well as the Adobe Suite, I still need my windows. This being said, I would like to partition my hard drive to have Linux installed. I already have windows Vista 32 installed, and would like to repartition for Linux. Is there a way to keep my V32 install?
Also, in a few months I'll install V64. How should I proceed? Will this involve reinstalling Linux or can I leave that partition alone and simply install V64?
The third option would be to install V64 and Linux (Fedora or Unbutu) from scratch. How should I proceed to do this?
Any experienced Linux users here?
One last question...can you access all files on a hard drive when booted in different partitions? For example, could I access a photograph that is saved in my C drive from Linux?
Cheers,
J
