Well I'll be a monkey's uncle- this is too cool. I went ahead and repartitioned the hard drive using diskdrake. I put the primary partitions in the same order and same size I had before ( the partitions I wanted to resize were on the extended partition). After finishing the install, I pulled the cd out and rebooted. I was going to reinstall win98, but forgot to stick the floppy in. The computer booted up into Windows! The windows system partition was still intact and functioning properly! Partition Commander reads the partition table with no problems. You guys have a real winner here!
