Yeah, PM7. I really don't know what I'm going to do.... This is basically what happened.
I wanted to install Linux, so I took off 9gigs from my 40gig partition. I went into Linux-Mandrake install and made my Ext2 and Swap partitions. It then said the drive would have to be completely formatted. I didn't want to do this, so I left setup. I was going to resize the 31 gig to 30gig so I could fit my 10gig onto the first drive, and then install linux and give it my whole secondary harddrive.
When I booted up PM after this, thats what it looked like. It said BAD on the first one.
Should I chance using the Win2k fix feature on the CD? PM doesn't give me any option to "fix" the drive.

Uh-oh, more information. Look at what I found in the PDF with PM7 on installing a second OS:
Tips: When installing Linux, create two partitions, one for the Linux Native or Root
partition, and one for the Linux Swap partition. Make sure that you do not set up these
partitions with Linux FDISK or with Disk Druid. (These programs render partition tables
unreadable to other operating systems. They can be used to change partition types and/or
set partition mount points. Newer versions of Linux FDISK and Disk Druid will not cause
these problems; consult your OS documentation for detail.) When installing Linux, make
sure that LILO is installed to the root superblock (boot sector equivalent) of the Linux
partition, not the master boot record.

Please? I REALLY need some help to this problem. There is a small possibility I could mirror my partition onto a friend's drive, but I doubt it. If I can't, what can I do?
