Hi,
With Paragon HDisk Manager i've created a partition for Swap (3G) and another for EXT3 (10G).
With Mint Gloria, will it recognize and automatically install to these two partitions and respect my other Windows XP partitions?
Close but still no cigar!

Perhaps, I've never done Guided installs myself.
Best solution is to do a manual install instead of guided, and explicitly choose the partitions you have set up to be used for Mint.

Will take another look at the "manual" options.
Just want to be sure i don't lose XP.
Not ready for the Linux plunge yet!

When you use the manual option make sure you mount the 10GB partition as /
If the partitioner sees the swap as swap you should be good to go.
