dude screw re paritioning and loosing all of your 1337 games and porn, get topologi linux and you dont have to change any of your current windows settings. It is really cool in the sense that you can keep all of your old work on your hard drive. The only problem i am having with it is when i try to boot it, it goes to a black screen with the word GRUB and a flashing cursor but dont mind my problem, if you want a linux distro that you can use on a windows machine with a bunch of stuff already stored on it, then topologi is the way go get it at: http://topologi-linux.sourceforge.net/index.php
