Hi all.
Last week i bought a box with w98 preloaded. Without thinking
about it, i took my mdk 6.1 cd (i didn't burned a 7.0 cd yet) and i
repartitioned the HD to install linux in the PC. Obviously i deleted the
old w98 installation. i was trying to install wnt4.0 in a separate
partitio

NT4 can only make a 2G FAT partition, but it sometimes pretends otherwise. If
you need more than 2G for NT you need to make it NTFS.
The FAT partition created by NT4 won't format correctly with Linux, so format
it with NT then install linux and tell it NOT to format the NT partition.
NT will happi
