Er... extra problem. After installing windows on the 130 gig partition I used lynux to format the extra space. I selected "primary partition" for that, and did not overwrite the partition where I put windows. Now I get Unmountable Boot Volume when I try to load windows. Should I go back into lynux and format it as "extended partition" so I can have the extra space? Have i just killed the new hard drive?
