I was wondering, how risky is it if I add another OS to my hard drive, I know I have to erase my hard drive, which I plan to back everything up on an external hard drive, and partition it.
I have a few questions.
1. How risky is this, damaging wise.
2. Can I only backup data, opposed to everything plus OSX.
3. How do I format and partiton, I know disk utility, but need some help.
4. Which OS gets installed first.
5. Then how would I switch between operating systems.
I am dual booting Ubuntu 7.10.
Thanks.
