I need to build a dual boot system - Linux and Win 2000. The machine already has Win 2000 installed, and the original installation disks are MIA, so I cannot reinstall Win 2000 if I make a mistake. My questions: 1. Any suggestions on how to safeguard the Win2000 on this machine since I cannot reinstall it if I break it? 2. Which distro would you recommend - RedHat 8.0 or Mandrake 9.0? Any views on stability since both are relatively new? Thanks!
