Just a little bit of a question here. I'm trying to use cfdisk to make hda1 be a primary dos partition like the Win98 boot disk would (if it would quit trying to put "C:" as the third partition, leading to an overlap). The problem is, I don't see a plain "DOS" option under the partition types list. If it actually is there and my eyes really are that bad, what code might it be? If not, how would I make something that'll work as a DOS partition? I just need a partition that I can actually install Windows 98 to and apparently, the Windows boot disk isn't going to help me (go figure).

You need to set its partition ID type to 0c (FAT32) and boot flag to active.

Thanks much. I guess I just need new glasses. I actually saw the "0C" before I noticed the description.

Never noticed this before. The Windows 98 installation disk formatted my MBR, which removed lilo. I had to reinstall lilo. They're just @$$#0|3$ that think they know best aren't they?
