Frig, thanks AoB I almost made a huge mistake!

I like the whole idea of linux. I think it's just because i like the idea of being able to plug in a removable drive into someone's computer and booting an OS that gives me control of their data. I'm an evil some bitch.

Anyways, thanks for the tip. I'm going to do way more research into this.

*edit* Ideally this is what I want to happen. I have 2 hdd's. One is a 30 gig that i use for windows and application data etc. Then i bought a 250 gig removable usb drive. I want to install some sort of linux on the removable hdd but still have 200 gigs for my windows data. That would leave linux with 50 gigs. Then at boot time if the removable drive is plugged in i want it to ask me weather i want to boot windows or linux and if it isn't plugged in it should just boot windows. Is that possible? Also, best linux distro out there?

Jamie
