no op   Please look at the boot partition
at the bottom of this.  /dev/sdg1 it's an ntfs Partition.  Is that 
windows on there?  If it is it's just laying there taking up space. I 
thought I had reformatted that whole drive??  I don't believe it shows 
up in Gparted, but will go back and look.  Should Gparted be able to see 
it.  I tdo seem to be short on space on the first drive . If Gparted can 
see it can I reformat it and repartition it so I can use it?  If not 
windows what the  heck is it?
