Idk, if you correctly configured everything, dual booting should be just as effective as having two separate drives. The order of partitions does not matter for functionality. Usually people just start with / and go from there. Swap isn't really needed but you can make one if you want.

can we make two partitions for linux? just incase if I wanted to change another window or something?

P.s I just noted we have the same signature. *highfive* lol

What do you mean by changing another window?

And that's very strange! Didn't even notice it.

if i have one partition and i wanted to install another windows on my external hard disk. i would need to format it first. so another hard drive where my important data is kept should be safe.
