The 13 GB is backed-up, right? I suggest you try configuring it as primary
master, fdisk it and install Windows on half. Hopefully your bios will see
the entire 13 GB but if you bios is like mine, you might only get 8.4
GB. Then install Linux to this drive. Install the 45GB as primary
slave. This second drive doesn't need to be recognized by the BIOS if you
only use it with Linux so set your BIOS to NONE for that drive. Once in
Linux, fdisk the new drive, mkfs, etc. Restore.
I imagine this will require a fair amount of clean-up for the Windows drive
but your system will probably run faster afterward.
