5300 partition problem

I have a 5300c that came with 8.6; I wanted 7.6.1 and a HD with two partitions. I used Apple's drive utility to create two partitions but accidentally made one HFS+ and didn't notice until I had 7.6.1 installed and got the "Where have all my files gone" deal. I installed 8.0 - same situation -
