I have Windows XP installed on my P4 machine. I want to install Linux Red Hat 9 on the same hard drive without deleting any of my files on C:. So if I install Red Hat 9 on the same hard drive will my files on C: be deleted (NTFS)??? If not can I partition my hard drive during the Red Hat installation to install it there???
Or do any of you know of a good tutorial that explains how to do this good? thank you...

I googled it but couldn't find any good in depth tutorials.

Will partitioning with partition magic delete any of my current files???
