Ok... so I am running a Hp Pavillion 512c. I plan to get better ram for it so I can run what I want/need. The thing of the matter is it is all hand me downs. I will be getting a 40G HD and a 60G, one is nearly full (the smaller of the two) and one is nearly empty. I plan on setting up a dual-boot into Fedora (though I suspect my questions on that go elsewhere). I also have to accommodate a second user... who is prone to having a lack of computer savvy. What I'm wondering, and hope to get help with a couple of things. Can I create a partition just for their User Account (so if they download bugs or catch something bad it won't affect me)? will I be able to partition this late into the HDs' lifespans? If yes, how so? Any and all help would be appreciated :)

Jump to PostPartitionMagic. or Gparted in Linux
You can have two copies of windows on an System. Different partitions ofcourse.
Jump to Post(so if they download bugs or catch something bad it won't affect me)?
It the best method in regards to that statement.
To separate files, a new User will suffice just save important files in My document. and give the other user lesser privilege.
