Depends. What filesystems do you use (FAT or NTFS?) and what kind of
files are these (.wav, .doc, ...)?
You might want to try Debian Live first. It runs completely standalone
from a CD and allows you to test Debian without touching your existing
setup. (Note: the performance will not be quite the same as CD drives
are slower than hard disks).
