Because Win4Linx requires direct access to DOS and this is blocked and
hidden in Win ME
you can not install it.
The only resolutions to this require registry changes which can adversly
effect Win ME and are not advised.
Your safest and best bet would be to resize your Win partition and to then
install 7.2 in its own partition and to forget about Win4Lnx.

Subject: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 Win4Lnx
I have been trying to install Mandrake 7.2 to my PC which is running
WindowsMe. Win4Lnx allows the user to install Mandrake 7.2 without
re-partition the HD. Everything went smoothly until I hit the "file system
setup" where I have to choose the size for the root directory and swap file.
After choosing the desire capacity for both options, I got an error saying
that
"ext2 formating of /mnt/mnt/windows/lnx4win/linuxsys.img fail".
If anyone have a similar experience before or know how to resolve this
problem, please help.
