error 983 while executing batch
too many errrors found, process halted.
any help please.

mmm cant help to much here ,
but you could have tried fips on the linux cd
anyway look at the brighter side of it you can now reformat , create 2 new partitions and reinstall win 98 and linux
And To All Those Opposed, WELL !!!

Run a scandisk or chkdsk /f on the partitions.
I run Partition Magic and this will fix the problem.

BLASPHEMY! Begone from my C board, you foul lover of objects, before the gods of C cast you into the void as punishment for your weakness! There is no penance for saying such things in my presence. You are henceforth excommunicated. Never return to this house, filthy heretic!
Hey since this thread is already about partitioning I might as well ask. Are these the correct things needed for a nice linux system. Realize I'm limiting this to a 6 gig memory span.
/boot - ??mg - ??type.
/root- 4-5 gig- ext3
/swap - 1gig - swap type
Thats all I've been able to get out of google searches. Any input is greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get out of the habit of using automatic programs and actually work manually with the computer.
