Hi

Just a thought, if your using JFW, uninstall it before resizing partitions
because JFW tokens don't like being moved so they remove themselves.

As a start, I'd just put GNU / Linux on the second hard disk leaving
Windblows to blow its hot air.

If it was me I'd partition the bigger drive and put GNU / Linux on that and
use the second disk (d:) as a backup drive for both Windblows files and
Linux.

Well, let's get one thing straight: There's no such thing as a "fat32
drive".  There is a fat32 partition though.  What you want is to make a new
partition, and when asked, use exf2 as the filesystem.
