I would agree that is the safest way to proceed, although the
repartitioning of the hard disk as outlined by somebody else would
certainly work. However, even here I would urge you to have a
complete backup that you have verified is usable before you
start. Makes that sinking feeling in your stomach when you realize
you've just partitioned the wrong drive much less ugly. :-)

Hello all.
Thanks for your comments.
The disk I have, actually has around 90GB of free space (more I
guess). I will do repartition with Norton and will leave 2 partitions
of 40GB for each extra OS. I then will install FB on the first one to
have the boot manager there and later Linux on the other partition. I
guess that could work. I hope so.
Thanks for your time.
