Because of other commitments I need to keep 30gigs wasted on Micro$. I have a 60 gig Maxtor hard drive with a 10 gig partition for the Win OS and 20 gig for win programs, this leaves room for 30 gigs of Linux. I have tried with several distributions of Linux and all recognize the 10 gig boot partition but roll the remaining into a single partition. How do I set up a dual boot and not affect the part reserved for windows. Yes I would prefer to just do a clean install of Linux but that is not possible in this case as even reformatting and reinstalling the windows part is not practical.
