Hi Just a thought, if your using JFW, uninstall it before resizing partitions because JFW tokens don't like being moved so they remove themselves. As a start, I'd just put GNU / Linux on the second hard disk leaving Windblows to blow its hot air. If it was me I'd partition the bigger drive and put GNU / Linux on that and use the second disk (d:) as a backup drive for both Windblows files and Linux.

There is a fat32 partition though. What you want is to make a new partition, and when asked, use exf2 as the filesystem.
