Hi, it was kinda hard to sum up my question in the title.
What I'm asking though is:
I have a 200GB partition where I keep my music, movies, photography, /home backups, and other really important things to make changing linux distros easier.
I'm planning on installing 10.04 when it comes out and figure ill do a clean install. I need to install Windows XP for business purposes, and was wondering if I create an NTFS partition in gparted beforehand, will windows simply install to that partition and leave my 200GB data partition alone? (10.04 will be installed afterwards, but i know how not to overwrite when installing that.)
hope that makes sense, thanks for your time.
