This is the output from fdisk of my disk:

The Linux OS that I’m currently using is on sda5
I want to install a new Linux OS on sda1 and be able to dual boot between the one on sda5 and the new one on sda1.
I’ve tried installing a new OS, but ‘bottled out’ when I wasn’t offered the option to install it on sda1!
I know just enough about disk partitioning to know that unless I’m very careful, I could lose the lot!
I’d welcome some advice, please.
