There is no set amount of time. It can vary tremendously, depending on the type of partition, the size of the partition, and the speed of the computer.

How long does shrinking a partition take in Windows Vista?
There is no precise answer for this question because the operation speed depends on your hardware configuration. I can take minute or less for SCSI drives and optical hard drives and several minutes for IDE and SATA drives.
How do you install and boot two Window XP programs in one or two hard disks?
You'll need to partition the disk so that you can have space for both OS's. Then you'll need a bootloader, such as LILO (Linux Loader) or some other bootloader that lets you select the OS. Install whatever Windows OS you need into one partition while the other partition is disabled. Windows will take over every partition on the computer if it can. Then enable the other partition and load whatever OS you want. After that, install the bootloader. Recognize that if you're using Linux of almost any flavor LILO is already there. Good luck.
What are the securities in Linux?
There are an abundant amount of securities in Linux, and most Linux distributions. It would take an extremely long time to list out every "Security" in Linux, as it's built around securities.
Does dual-booting Windows and Linux make your computer run slower?
No, it would not, as you only boot with one OS at a time, not both of them simultaneously. However the data transfers between the two partitions (one for Linux and other for windows) would take slightly longer than what it would have taken with only one partition. You would have lesser space than before.(as Linux would take some space for installation)
If you download Linux on your Mac will it take over Mac OS and is there any way to avoid that without partitioning the HD if it does?
If you download Linux to your mac, nothing will happen until you initiate the installer. If you want to install Linux but keep Mac OS also installed, you will need to partition your hard drive. This can be done using the Disk Utility application that is found in the Utilities folder of Application. Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility

How do you resize a partition on a hard drive?
There is an excellent program available for this called "partition magic." It is pretty much the only way to re-size partitions without having to format & thus losing the data. Its not free, but it is pretty cheap for as good as it is. The link below will take you to a list of freeware & shareware programs which also may be able to help. But remember, when working with partitions tread carefully, one wrong click and its all gone. Incorrect: While partition magic will do what you want it is by no means the best nor is it the only option. The best and free option is to download almost any of the Linux live CD's and use their program called g partition. Don't be afraid of this because it is "Linux". It is just as easy to use as windows, I swear. There is even a special Linux that only has g-parted on it, it is extremely small and can run from a usb drive or live CD. G-parted is better because the hard drive in question does not even have to be bootable in order to use it, plus it is free. Also it can format into both NTFS and Fat plus the Linux formats so you can use it to make drives for Mac or Windows. It is awesome check it out.

Hard drive partition?
Many drives come with a single partition already set up, but all storage devices are just treated as a mass of unallocated, free space when they contain no partitions. To actually set up a file system and save any files to the drive, the drive needs a partition. The partition can contain all of the storage space on the drive or just some of it. On many storage devices, a single partition will often take up the entire drive. Partitions are necessary because you can’t just start writing files to a blank drive. You must first create at least one container with a file system. We call this container a partition. You can have one partition that contains all the storage space on the drive or divide the space into twenty different partitions. Either way, you need at least one partition on the drive. After creating a partition, the partition is formatted with a file system — like the NTFS file system on Windows drives, FAT32 file system for removable drives, HFS+ file system on Mac computers, or the ext4 file system on Linux. Files are then written to that file system on the partition.
