I am trying to figure out how to make ONE drive have the Boot and System distinction so I can erase the one currently labeled as system to use as a Linux drive. I have no clue why they can not be on the same one, but this is the 3rd time this has happened and I have tried several things to make it not be, but Windows wants to do things its own way.

SO, anyone have any idea on how to make this work? I know NOW that if i simply force a format of the current C drive (the one that does NOT have the system files) absolutely nothing will work. I am assuming that that is where the bootloader/sector or some other important files are living. I am getting rather pissy as this continues. I miss my poor broken mac and am looking forward to using Ubuntu.
