Reformatting Hard Drive
Hey, for about the past 2 or 3 weeks I've been playing around with linux (fun, but not worth it) so i went back on my Vista partition so i could erase my second hard drive, but my Vista side does not see the Linux side, soo... how do I format it? I was thinking to stick the disk in there that came with the computer, but I dont want to reformat everything, just the one side.

I am aware of the whole computer managment thing, would that work?

Thanks!
