I know little or nothing about partioning so I ignored the partition and assumed that the reinstall would amalgamate the 2 drives into one which is what he would have been happy with.

Fix corrupt NTFS partition?
"PQ PartitionMagic Pro has found an extended partition on disk 1 (and 2) that crosses the 1024 cylinder boundary and is not marked as an ExtendedX partition. This condition can cause data corruption on this disk." I asked Partition Magic to reset this but I feel there may be some other changes.

The partition I'm trying to create is 8 GB
