Hi all,

I have a PC pentium 4 with window XP and hard disk 40 GB.
I have only one hard drive "C".

Now I plan to buy and install linux 7.2 from RedHat.
Further, I want to choose with boot between linux and windows.

In this regard I have following questions before I proceed further.

1. How to install linux so that I can choose between linux and window at boot time?
2. Do I need to install window XP again.
3. Is there any risk that I may loose my existing files and programmes installed on windows.
4. Do I need some backup before I start installing linux?

Any kind of help in this regard.

best regards
