What I would reccomend is to look online for one of the appropriate 'HowTos' on how best to set up the multi-boot combo you want, and follow it. Most seem to involve installing MS on one or two small partitions, then creating Linux partitions on the rest of the drive and putting Linux on those.
(BTW, don't feel bad about only having 36Gb, I just doubled my drive size and am now up to EIGHT Gb!)

gotcha, and btw i have more than 36 gig, i have two raptor which both each are 36 gig, and two storage IDE drive which both are each at 200 gig.
anyway thanks for ur help on the linux thing, i'll take a look at some of the to do guide, anyway i want to setup so linux has one whole harddrive to itself, aka the second raptor, hopfully it should be able to access the IDE storage drive with no problems.
