B= y the way, you may want to just shrink your MSWindows partition with e.g.=
gparted LiveCD and then create new partitions to install Gentoo in. This
will allow you to multiboot i= nto either OS. A common data partition will
allow you access to your= data files, music, etc. by both OS too.

As Ricardo says, followin= g the handbook is the best way to install Gentoo.
Then read some of = the documentation for setting up and configuring a desktop,
or differ= ent services if you want to. Any questions just ask in this M/L,
the= forums and in IRC.

Good luck!
