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. JB
