Firstly thanks to everyone who offered insight as to

When I shutdown from Linux Mandrake 6.0, I get
messages saying some files are still busy and aren't
being shutdown right. Then, on booting up, a check is
forced of the root partition, /dev/hda1, for having
been uncleanly mounted. What could this be? Help?

dmesg tells me that
hda: dma_intr: status 0x51 {drive ready seekcomplete
error}
hda: dma_intr: error 0x84 {drive status error bad CRC}
It repeats each of these lines several times and then
follows with a line saying DMA on hda is shutdown.
I guess this means some kind of Direct Memory

Linux is on the master hard drive and win98 is on the

on boot-ing up
