If you can use a text editor, these aren't beyond your capabilities.  
Modifying /etc/fstab is a relatively mundane detail in Linux.  Sudo is 
well-documented and fairly easy to configure with visudo.

What distro are you using?  Note that Debian offers to dual-boot by default so 
you don't have to go swapping drives.  If RPM is involved, you're in for an 
unusually steep learning curve by today's Linux standards...
