Is it possible to install linux on the F drive without erasing anything on it? If this is possible, which one can do it? Thanks for your time.

The install shouldn't erase any files. But back them up just in case.

It wont UNLESS YOU CHOOSE NATIVE INSTALL

O and I recommend you do the ftp install to e then magic f

It really does help
