Linux Installs
Listen everyone, this is VERY important. Do not attempt a Linux install to your hard drive unless you are following a guide AND have your windows product code AND windows reinstall disc available (unless you are overwriting windows). I cannot stress that enough. I have destroyed more than one copy of windows doing Linux installs without a guide.
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH
Update:if you are going to do a Linux install do it on a separate hard drive and you'll be fine.
