So when I finally installed Vista, I made a 100gb partition for Windows, and there was another 200gb of free space. Though, in Vista, I only have my 100gb partition, and I don't see the other 200gb anywhere else... Can I format it from Vista so it becomes usable?
 
Go into Disk Management and you will probably need to assign a drive letter to the 200 GB partition. In the future, always make your primary system volume partition during the OS setup/install and then leave the rest unformatted until you have the OS fully installed. Also, as a good practice, use drive labels to tell your partitions apart. I call my C drive SYSVOL and my D drive STORAGE.
