Alright,
last night I decided to reinstall windows, and I was going to install Mandrake 9.0 on a smaller seperate partition.
I have an 80GB drive partitioned with 60GB for my data and I allocated 10GB for the Windows Partition (OS only) and then the rest for the linux partition.
Now somewhere along the way the linux partition got messed up ( not sure how ) and I would get tons of errors and my mouse wouldnt work (Logitech iFeel Mouseman) and so I decided to try to start again, but the Linux partition wont format properly back to NTFS using the Windows boot manager that shows up when you use the install cd. And after I reformatted the windows partition I cant install Windows on it now, It says that there is a bad partition table.
Any suggestions on how to
a) Install Windows and Linux properly now that I have screwed things up here
b) Not lose any data on my large 60GB partition
and
c) not be such a noob

Thanks in advance,
Riptide
