I want to partition my hard drive so i can use ubuntu. I know doing so will delete all my data but i use a CD that came with the computer, i believe it is a recovery CD. and i use it every now and then to return my pc to the condition it was in when i bought it. can i use this CD to bring back some of the data that was lost? and do i even need to partition my hard drive so i can use ubuntu? any comments and advice would be extremely appreciated. Thank you
ps: the main problem is that i dont know, what we will happen when i partition my hard drive. will i need to install windows?
