Couldn't do FAT>NTFS conversions, but it could do GDP>something conversions, as well as dynamic to basic.
I'll start looking for a distro now.
Can anyone recommend me one?

What do you mean FAT to NTFS Conversion? Were you able to format it in FAT?
At the top will be the same place you hang from.

Ah ok.
Once you've gotten the drive onto FAT you should be fine installing Windows 7. Smile

Okay, so I formatted the drive in the distro to FAT32, I then booted off the windows 7 disc and installed to a 250GB partition. To do this I had to format it using the advanced options. If I tried to without formatting to NTFS it would refuse to install.
