A partition is ... it's like how a hard drive knows that it's a hard drive I guess. You can put multiple partitions on a hard drive, and you need a separate partition for each OS. For each partition you have your compy will read a separate hard drive regardless of the actual set up. If the partition is ballsed you need to go through the process of whiping your hard drive (formatting) so that you can do a clean install of windows. Mikey no doubt knows more than me, I've taken to being a nerd only part time so anything much deeper goes over my head.
