That's plenty of room.  I suggest you create three
primary partitions:
---------------------------------
/dev/hda1     40mb   DOS
/dev/hda2     80mb   Linux swap
/dev/hda4    400mb   Linux native
---------------------------------
Those sizes are only approximate.  I've left /dev/hda3
blank because in the future you might find it useful
to reduce the size of the swap partition and use the
space for a small Linux native partition (/dev/hda3)
to experiment with.

Use DOS fdisk and format to create a bootable C: drive.
Unzip bl3-xx.zip in C:\baslin

Boot BL3 and use Linux fdisk to create /dev/hda2 and
/dev/hda4.  Then use mkswap and mke2fs to format those
partitions:
----------------
mkswap /dev/hda2
mke2fs /dev/hda4
--------------------
swapon /dev/hda2
mount /dev/hda4  /hd
install-to-hd
--------------------

Cheers,
Steven
