Cut down your VFAT partition to 8Gigs and try the install again.

Subject: [newbie] Partitioning for Win98 and Linux
>Hello everyone.
>
>I had installed Mandrake 7.0 as the single OS on my box. No problem at all. Then my
>HD physically crashed and I installed a new one
with Windows 98. This new hd is 20Gb big, and initially, when installing Win98 I left
only a partition of 10Gb (9.x Gb), the rest of
the disk would be for Linux. Then I tried to install Mandrake, but DrakX told me that
the partition for Linux is beyond the cylinder
1024, so I quit installation. I surfed the internet to read some howtos, but my
confusion grew larger. My question is: can I install
Linux without making a /boot partition within the cylinder 1024?
