Install Linux with Winxp

[KC]

I am trying to figure out what would be the best way to install linux with win xp would be?

I have two drive a 20gig as master drive and a 60 gig as just a back up and music drive and all my aps are installed on it. So what I plan do do is put linux on the first drive but don't know if I should install xp first of last.

Also i have madrake 8.0 and suse 7.3, which would play best with windows. I need the boot loader to work because I don't have working floppy drive.

why don't you try Mandrake 9.2, you can use free space on your windows HD

Well don't have broad band. I know you can do that with 8.0 as well but I don't know if it would cause a problem.

@uniacid: can Mandrake 9.1 do that aswell?

definately install windows, and then linux....

and as far back as i can remember, mandrake will use extra space from your windows partiton...and set up the boot loader without a problem
