I'm thinking about converting my PC into a dual boot system. Is there anything I should know or do before I do this? I heard that it is best to put Linux on its own hard drive.

hi man,  
no special suggestions, just one little advice:  
create a FAT32 partition in which you can put data to exchange with windoze. Anything else....just have fun! ![](http://64.32.63.100/forums/icons/smile.gif)
