Hi, i need your help once again,
My windows seems to have (yet again) gotten some kind of malware from somewhere. there is a taskbar icon which cays "system alert: Malware threats" and then clicking on it redirects me to a web page asking me to install some kind of anti virus (paying them, of course) Now i know that this is the usual trojan or something like that...
I run Linux on my system too, what i wanted to know was if i format my windows by changing primary boot device to CD and booting up the XP cd, will my Linux drive allocation be affected in any way? i have backup of everything i could want from the C drive, as i've gone through the drill quite a lot of times..i'm not really against windows, but this is sort of a norm for me (even with Zone Alarm installed, i think i've got to move on to something better. suggestions?)
So will my Linux drives be affected in any way? i tried googling, but all i found was "How to set up Dual boot"
