so that would involve reformatting both drives? If so, then I guess I'm in for a long backup session first... How should I go about it?

TIA, Oh, and I just thought of another thing: If I have to reformat my Windows drives, should I reinstall windows first before installing Mandrake 10.0? And, I seem to recall there's something about NTFS that makes it so Linux and Windows can't access the same files - so should I take the opportunity and redo Windows in FAT32 or something?
