Anyway, to answer your question, i am 90% sure (not 100 cos i'm still newbie) that partitioning will not damage your information BUT YOU MUST Defragment your Hard Drive first. Remember that. I installed Mandrake and made all the partitions on one HD and didn't loose anything at all.

very good advice, but personally i would say it's no harder to just manually set up your partitions. if you do it manually you can make /home into a seperate partition, and that way you can format your linux partition, and reinstall some other version of linux, and your /home partition will still contain all your files (mp3s, letters, pictures et c).
Lord C:
what a good idea! why didnt i think of it :/

Calum: Mandrake automatically makes you two different / and /home partions...
Lennon:
