when you install linux you will need to create your linux partitions from
free space on the drive...
so if you currently have no free space
you will have to move all your data off one partition
then *delete* that partition from your linux installtion

then create your linux partitions from that free space

as far as accessing your other partitions from linux

you simply mount those partitions

btw: i am not sure how far linux has come as far as NTFS compatability...
you should have no trouble reading the NTFS partitions...
but i don;t know how well linux currently supports wrting to an NTFS
partition
