Hi im new to Linux and im trying to install it to the hard drive.
Ive already made a new partition using partition magic and then i go to install to hard drive in the DSL menu and then it says Enter target partition(eg hda2), if my Linux partition is F:/ on my computer what would i have to type in to install it to there?

Any Help would be appretiated

If you have only one hard drive, then it should be /dev/hda4

F: would be /dev/hda4 if it's the fourth partition on the first (master) drive.  If it's the second partition on the slave, then it's /dev/hdb2.
