REQ: Newbie Qustion Re: Hard Drives, etc...


On my computer now I have 2 HDs

1. 10gb HD Win98
2. 15bg HD Linux RH9

It's not set up for dual boot. I use a floppy to boot into RH9.

I have arecently downloaded and burned it on CD
VMware Virtual Machine_FC5
I would like to try this But I do not have very much free space on my
curent Linux HD. Also I don't want to loose the Curent RH9.

What I want to do is Do delete The Win98 on the 1st HD and
Install VMware and Fedora-5 on this disk.

However I am not sure of The procedure

How do I setup the HD 1 so It doesnt Destroy the 2nd Hd linux. ??

To have more Space can I add The #1 HD to My curent Linux wich is on
the 2nd HD ??

If I do this then:
a. How do I Format and monunt this
b. How do I install VMware and FC-5 but still keep RH9
c. Do I need to SetUp the MBR for a dual boot For RH9 and FC5

I have tried to find some reading material regarding this subject
But so far I could find anything.

I sure could use a helping hand

TIA
Charles
