I must respectfully disagree. I had used Windows98 for years as my only
OS, and only decided to give Suse Linux a try after first trying the CD
only version, and then being assured, and re-assuredn that it could safely
install alongside windows.
The install recognized windows, re-partitioned the drive (after first
asking permission and desired partition sizes), moved all windows to the
windows partition, installed Linux on the Linux partition, and installed
the boot manager. By default, the boot manager defaults to Linux, but it's
a piece of cake to go into the setup and change it to default to windows.
