Thanks, Carroll, but it looks like I need to backup a little, and ask for more help in this... I need to get the software Partition Magic just to uninstall something? When I installed Mandrake (it was v.8.1), I let it do it's "Recommended" routine, according to the manual. But, I can't find the uninstall procedure :( How do I see where the entire OS is located? I'm fairly familiar with Windows Explorer, and spend a lot of time figuring out stuff from there, so I was trying to see the linux OS in there somewhere...unsuccessful. I also assume the boot loader was installed, as I get a linux GUI "choose your os" upon bootup. I think I'm getting confused with the manual's statement that linux ignores the windows method of filing and naming, so then how would a windows system even show the linux files? So many questions, and the continuity of thoughts is nonexistent. Sorry. I would just so love to be able to see what's there before I blow myself up.
