Nah, it's still a 250GB drive it was just bugging me that I couldn't do what I want with it - hey I may even set up a dual boot with Windows 7 now...

Addendum:
Okay, another emergency if you can help I was so happy that I finally managed to do the whole boot thing that I blithely reformatted the OldSys drive completely forgetting that I had put my content folders on there for LightWave. The NewSys drive was divided into two partitions C: (NewSys) and E: (Biig) and I had a folder on E: called F-temp that contained various things. Because the OldSys drive got assigned F: when I formatted it, I blithely copied the contents of F-Temp onto the newly-formatted F: drive, so not only have I reformatted a drive that had work stuff on it, I copied files over it. AAAAaarrrggghhh! Is there anything I can do? I have a Western Digital MyBook that backs everything up, but now I can't see the files on it because it thinks I no longer have a D: drive so I can't just restore from the backup...
I know this isn't in your remit, but I'm desperate to recover my work.

In theory my WD MyBook World Edition should have backed up the folder in question, but since the D: drive no longer exists, it won't give me access to the files!
