Installing Mandrake 7.2 along WinME (Score 1)

I was just wondering if anybody has any information on installing Mandrake alongside WinME. I'm new to linux. Here's my case: I have a 40 GB hard drive, two partitions. WinMe is on the C: and D: has nothing. Where do I get started? I'm afraid of losing my WinMe partition. Thanx
