Dear Stephen, Try to use ext2 file system for /boot and allocation about 30M to it (on separate partition). Then rest root partition (can use reiserfs,...). Mount point of /boot partition is /boot and root partition is /
Before re-install, during partitioning, delete the partitions first(not your data or windows ones).
