First install: partitioning

[Dante Pastro]

Hi,

 

I have an 80 GB HD, am running Win XP, I have 30% of the HD occupied, and
the HD is not partitioned. It is prudent to first partition the HD so that
Win XP runs on one and Ubuntu runs on the other or does Ubuntu recognize my
present files and avoids writing over them?

 

Thank you

 

Regards,

 

Dante
