Only 1 thing I need to know before I do this.

I would assume the area I have circled is at the beginning of the disk... if I create a partition there, will it overwrite?
OMFG, I downloaded gparted and followed the links and whatnot but aLL I GET IS A ZIPPED FILE WITH LOADS OF FILES THAT DONT EVEN HAVE A .whatever EXTENTION?! wtf is that!!

Because you forgot to download the liveCD. Download the liveCD, it will come in ISO format. After you've done that, use Nero or something to burn it onto CD (in Nero- SmartStart, Copy and Backup, burn image to disk, change file type to "Image Files", select the image, burn CD). Once the liveCD is burned, you need to stick the CD in your drive and reboot your computer. Go into BIOS and make sure that you're booting off the CD before your hard drive. Then it should prompt you to boot from the CD. Do that, and then it will automatically load linux and Gparted. The rest is easy enough :).

Relax, by "runs linux", I mean "runs linux in a way that requires no user interaction to work". It's a liveCD. It will not write any files to your computer, if won't replace your Windows startup logo with a penguin, and you'll hardly notice anything different. That liveCD is designed soley to run that program, so stop worrying and start partitioning :p.

That's illegal for one... and for two most warez sites are infested with viruses and shit. My PC would die as it has NO protection whatsoever.
