okay, so this is a newbie question, but bear with me.
i'm going to install blag on my pc, doing a dual-boot configuration with winxp as the primary, which it already is. win xp and the boot info is on a 40 gig hard drive, along with 39 gigs of other crap, while i have an almost empty 160 gig drive sitting in my computer for other files.
now, my question: should i clear a bit of room on the 40 gig and use that to boot from linux, or would it be okay to partition 20 gigs of the 160 drive and use that for linux. is there any problems with doing this? would i still be able to access all files on all drives from either os?
any help would be appreciated.
