What do you mean hidden?

You can only have one root partition. Apparently there is already a "/"
defined, so you must choose another location to mount this partition.
You also mentioned in your message that you wanted to install linux on a
secondary disk, which was 1.6G, yet here you mention you are trying to install
on a 3.2G disk. Please re-read your message, and make sure it is clear and
concise enough for people to easily understand, which will maximize the amount
of information someone can provide the first time.

You should be able to create another primary if there is space available.

I don't think it has anything to do with the boot manager, but you might want to
try using the normal fdisk program to create the partitions, as you have more
control than with using the druid.
