[QUOTE="Teh_Derek, post: 511872, member: 39824"] 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. [/QUOTE]
