Hello all.

Thanks for your comments.

The disk I have, actually has around 90GB of free space (more I 
guess). I will do repartition with Norton and will leave 2 partitions 
of 40GB for each extra OS. I then will install FB on the first one to 
have the boot manager there and later Linux on the other partition. I 
guess that could work. I hope so.

Thanks for your time.
