<P>Hmmmm......after all these suggests you gave to me, I'm still trying to find a way on how to Install Fedora safely. But thanks for giving me all those suggestions. As for the Extended partition of my master hard drive, I believe it's a very big and tedious process which involves backing up my data from my master hard drive and formatting it as a extended partition. What is the difference between Primary and Extended? How do I create a FAT32 partition on my second hard drive during the Linux installation process? is it necessary?</P>

<DIV></DIV>>>One more question that i'm concerned of, The problem is, if I'm not
<DIV></DIV>>>comfortable on having Linux on my system, how do I remove the
<DIV></DIV>>>shared partition (the FAT32 partition) and the GRUB boot loader
<DIV></DIV>>>that goes with it? How do I restore my system back to it's original
<DIV></DIV>>>state after removing Linux off my system?

<DIV></DIV>>The easiest way is to boot from your Win XP CD, follow the
<DIV></DIV>>directions to get into Repair and at the prompt type FIXMBR and then
<DIV></DIV>>type yes when asked if you want to continue. You seem to be really
<DIV></DIV>>concerned with the FAT 32 partition, so in your case I would pit it
<DIV></DIV>>in the Linux drive. That way you would have the option of leaving
<DIV></DIV>>the slave in the machine and reformatting it as an extended
<DIV></DIV>>partition of the master drive.
