it depends on the file... you won't get an exe running unless you install wine... if you want to watch a movie or something, install either xine or use xmms which comes with it...
yes you will lose everything when you reboot because everything is run in your ram, which also means you can't screw up your windows on the other driver short of using a certain formatting tool
as far as formatting goes, i suggest going into windows xp and using something like partition magic to cut off a piece of the free space since it's a little safer to do it in windows with that than to use cfdisk/fdisk
however, you should just learn everything you can from dsl and not touch your harddrive since you want to make sure you still have windows until you decide you just want linux.... like they said this works pretty good in just memory... i have a 200mhz processor and 110mb of ram and it isn't really all that bad unless i do somthing stupid like try to use openoffice.org  also since you have a little room, after you do learn some stuff and decide to use linux, go download something that is designed for harddrive installation.. like suse or slackware or something, those hd installers usually come with all the zingy zangy doodads most people don't need but they look cool

DSL Market ,
Great VPS hosting provided by Tektonic
??? I have a 4.0gig HD and Windows XP S/2 configured in fat32. Can not get on the internet with DSL because I need to down load the drive for the Sony Erickson GC79 Lan card. If I work with DSL I don't want to loose my files that I make, also would like to use Open Office with DSL. I plan on removing window as soon as I get the hang of linux. I need to also move all my book marks, ect.
