I have a 300GB Hard disk. I already partitioned 200 GB for Windows (NTFS). What’s the best way to partition the remaining space for Linux (I’ll be installing Fedora Core 4)? Is Partition Magic the way to go? Do you know of any good websites that walk you through this stuff?

Also, I want to use 50 GB for the partition, and save 50 GB for another Linux version.
My power supply only allows for one Hard disk and one DVD_RW drive, so the extra hard disk thing would be a pain.

Hi today i was running Mandriva Linux from the CD and i think i accidentally formatted or installed it on my hard drive. Did it write over my data files? Can they be restored? Also i cant seem to see my hard drive in My Computer in Windows XP anymore and even in Mandriva. The only time i can see it is when i am looking on Partition Magic in Windows XP. The drive looks partitioned in 3 sections and it says linux in small letters. Any help on how to restore this would be great. THanks
