Good tip

Tip: If you want to eliminate the chance of overwriting one of your hard drives then you can physically disconnect them before booting from the Live CD.

For years now my advice to people trying out Linux is to disconnect their normal system disk and use one that they can "throw away" -- not so much because there's really much chance of getting it wrong and doing any damage, but because it's such a huge anxiety reducer.
