You guys say this, and I've gone through the picture tutorials to show where the option should pop up, but that option is not there for me, for some reason. All I can do is either use the whole disc in a guided way or manually use the whole disc.

Right. You'll have to do it manually, but you still don't have to reinstall. Boot up the LiveCD, go to System -> Adminstration -> Partition Manager or something like that, and it'll bring up GParted.
Select the Windows partition and shrink it (should be fairly obvious; if you see something not right then don't do it) to a size that will leave it with a few GB left over. Then create two new partitions filling the blank space, one about 4GB and one filling the rest of the space. Select "apply" and it will make the changes.
Then when you use the installer, select manual. Select the large partition as "/" and the small partition as "swap". Make sure it's only going to change those two partitions and not ouch your Windows one.

...I will try this out this afternoon, thank you.

Aw nutbunnies. I tried to resize, and am unable to do so using the partition editor. So I look up the information on my disk because there's bound to be some clue in here, and I get this:
Warning:[jargon jibber jargon]
Current volume size: 118518026752 byts (118519 MB)
Current device Size: 118518027264 (118519 MB)
ERROR: Hopeless many bad sectors has been detected!
WARNING: The disk has many bad sectors. This means physical damage on the disk surface cause by deterioration, manufacturing faults or other reason. We suggest to get a replacement disk as soon as possible.
I sureh ope this is something I can just fix with canned air...
