mmmmm, i fixed the problem whatever it was. Booted the mandrake set-up deleted all partitions, and put one big FAT32 on in. I restarted, windows still opnly showed 1 windows partition of 10GB so i opened partition magic and formatted the drive to NTFS and i restared aand now i have 28.6GB of data :D(free)

Thanks for all ya'lls help!!
