Installing SLED10 and need to know how to preserve windows files
I'm trying to make sure all my windows files stay put, so i'm wondering how to go about installing SLED 10. I can't log onto windows due to a virus infection, so i'm trying to install SLED10 and get all my files from there. Any help is much appreciated. I wanna be able to use windows as well as linux as well.

Well, as long as there was free space in the partition (depending on how much) you can resize it without any data loss. You won't really be compressing any files per se, but rather shrinking the file system.
the defaul option is to shrink. there's also create extended, create swap, and create root. so you're saying as long as i have enough space on my hard drive - i've got about 30gb minimum - i shouldn't lose any data?
