No I have just one hardrive; I had partitioned it into three or four places
in the past. The first one was intended for the windows operating system
and programs file, the next was just for download and datafiles; and I
think I made one more to trouble shoot for windows; and file last one was
for linux.
I used partition magic when I did that; However I will like to merge the two
windows partion if possible. Both partion are formatted in NTFS so linux is
able to read and play my media music file from it. Finally after installing
suse I shrinked one of the windows partion to free up 15MB or so of raw
space.
It was about 7 gigs designated to linux 2 of which are in use leaving about
5 gigs. I could format in with the linux extention in windows if I wanted
but I would prefare linux to take over the unpartitioned space; simply
because I have one to many partitions. It anycase I am aware that it is
risky business.
