Should I do a parallel installation to the existing partition or to a different partition?

Of what? For what?



If you are talking about Operating systems, it is highly suggested that operating systems reside on their own Partitions.

Installing 2 OSes in one Partition can carry lots of problems.




----------------------------------
Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
The only (reasonable) reason for paralleling in the same partition is if your main installation isn't working, and you're trying to get access to the machine and filestore (and you only have one partition).
 
The OS isn't working. Tried an inplace upgrade which didn't work. Got a 'Loader Error 3' fault when try to start. The hdd has a 120gb and a 68gb NTFS partitions. Only using win2k.
