That would explain everything :)

Either use another format, or install some things to write to ntfs (not really recommended afaik)
loooooooooooooooool :P, but i heard FAT32 only - point is that i cant have files of 2gb. ?, but does that mean a single file 2gb or also a map containining files that equal 2gb ? and will i lose my files when i convert me hd to fat32?
Pimpes I would recommend you install DSL on a USB key. This is rather easy, runs faster than from CD, you can save your changes (accessible from Windows too) and you can take it everywhere with you. This is one of the main purposes of DSL anyway and it will enable you to learn how to use Linux without breaking anything ! After some time you might also discover that The Gimp and ImageMagick are better than Photoshop...
i tried installing on usb key, but when i put BIOS on 1st boot: USB and then it just runs windows :O .

I used A MP3 Player 512MB..
maybye it matters ? else i only have a 64mb regular usb key left
Well, I suppose you still want to listen to your mp3 don't you ? I see 2 possibilities for you :

- use DSL toram from live-cd with the 64 mb key for backup/restore ;

- resize an ntfs partition (better not the windows C:) and create a linux ext2 partition + swap (this one about twice the size of your ram) in the free space. Converting from ntfs to fat is not recommended (you can only do that with Partition Magic, and that program is often referred to as Partition Tragic not without reasons) and not needed especially for the one that contains the windows system.

If you feel comfortable (I insist on this) and want to resize an ntfs partition I'd recommend this live-cd :

Make sure you read the documentation before starting anything. And good luck !
