BACKUP all UR FILES YOU CANT LIVE WITHOUT!!! < do it just as a fail safe > step 2 ok when u going to install suse it will partation the drive for you ok say u got 500 GB HDD 150 GB C:\ 150 d:\ about 180 gb free suse like all linux OS will use an owns file system and cant be installed to like c:\ it will need that partion of space to be edited up into two parts one for the OS < root level file system > / and one for swap / memory sorry cant be much more help than that ... haven't had to install any linux and XP system together ... but : once it installed will you / should be able to pick to boot into XP from the boot load menu
zcworld: I just tend to think that step1 is unnecessary. You should have ALWAYS up-to-date backups. You never know when your hardware just fails.
