Any thoughts about these

First, you should have started a new thread. This has nothing to do with the topic.
As for your first question. I don't know why you want to convert your disk to NTFS to install linux. NTFS support in linux is experimental.
For your seccond question, drive sace is advertised by counting each unit as 1000 of the previous one while your computer counts as 1024 (but if your drive is 100GB it should be 93 GB for real. 76GB is quite small.)
