Before you get too far... I suggest reformatting again, and creating 2 partitions. Make one of them 6 GB, call it C. Make the other the rest of the drive, call it D or something. Install ONLY Windoze on the C drive. Install everything else on D, and save all files on D. When Windoze fails in the future, all you have to do is reformat the C partition and reinstall Windoze. All data will still be there on the D partition.

And make the D partition FAT, not NTFS - that way if you ever decide to switch to Linux, you won't have a hassle getting your data to the new system
