I'm not in windows at the moment, but to make your win95/98 partition visible in linux
you have to cnofigure it in BootMagic. I think it is when you Edit a boot
configuration in the dialog box that allows you to change the icon there is a second
tab, on that tab you select the partitions you want to be visible to Linux. Or win98
depending on which one your editing.
