Hehe...
Don't worry Chris - it is confusing.
Windows and OS-X protect you from a lot of the day to day rigours of running a proper operating system, though of course in doing so they remove a lot of the control.
It's easy to forget that not so long ago you had to boot into DOS and type "win" to get anything done.

i guess this is both the detraction and the benefit to users... fully configurable but complex with it.

No, when it gives you the partition option... Originally Posted by dodgyedgy

On my laptop, (from an 80GB disk), I have:
1. 20GB - NTFS - Windows System - C:\ in Win, \mnt\cdrive in Linux
2. 19GB - EXT2 - Linux System - N/A in Win, \ in Linux
3. 01GB - EXT2 - Linux Swap partition - N/A in Win
4. 40GB - NTFS - Data - D:\ in Win, \mnt\ddrive in Linux
It should sort the rest out for you.
