In common with many others, DiskDrake is NOT mature enough to be
relied upon, period. Where did all your overlapping partitions
come from, might I ask? DiskDrake? Others have reported this
in these mailing lists. Pay attention. Failing that, look at

You have PM, but don't seem to be aware that the Windows PM or the PM
CD both give you the option to generate a pair of floppies. These
boot DOS, have a DOS-based GUI and contain all the PM functionality
except those crazy wizards. It is these you should use for Linux
operations, not Windows.
It seems you want to learn the hard way. That is one of your
options. Wisdom does not come cheap.
You will eventually concede I have given you a valuable lesson.
