None of the above

As soon as I have a few hours available, I shall be installing Linux on this PC.
I'm going to take the opportunity to install a larger hard drive for WinXP and the slave HDD presently used for back up purposes will be used for the new OS.
I'll transfer existing files into XP once it is up and running again and future back ups will go to an external hard drive.
Now, I understand that I must install Windows first but are there any other pitfalls awaiting the uninitiated?
I did successfully partition a single drive some while back with an OS that escapes me (Mandrake?) from a magazine disc, but as I couldn't get it to work with a dial up modem, I ditched it at the next re-install. So, I'm not exactly a beginner but my knowledge and experience can hardly be called encyclopaedic, nevertheless I'm ready to have another go.
So Gentlemen, do you have any advice for the new SUSE Linux 10.0 user?
All contributions will be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance,
