“This article describes how you can remove the Windows NT or
Windows 2000 operating system from your computer, and then install
the Linux operating system.“
“The partition types used by the Linux and Windows operating
systems are compatible – if you’re running Linux that is. You do
not need to remove your existing Windows partitions to install
Linux. Linux will usually detect any Windows partitions and allow
you to access them directly.”
“IMPORTANT: Before you follow the steps in this article, you
should back up any important files you have. If you intend to
restore the Windows operating system at a later date, please
remember that you can easily make a dual-booting system instead.
Linux does not insist on running roughshod over any other operating
systems you have installed.”
