wow, an installation guide...well I started the proccess and chickened out because this site doesn't mention anything about installing to a partition..  Is that something that could be specified in the installation process?  Or will it over-write my XP?  sorry for my lack of experiences in installing operating systems. hehe.  but will it NOT kill my c drive????

btw, the link says to hit enter at boot...my system was F12.

Thanks in advance!
