I'm using discdrake from Mandrake 8.1. I'm trying to re-partition the drive properly to add Mandrake and RedHat 5.1 (for a deadended legacy app.) along with the win98 that is already loaded. I think 5.1 has to be on primary along with windows. Not sure what I did wrong ... maybe I tried to make too many primary partitions ... not sure. Now I can't delete and reinstall partitions ... I get the error when it starts the formatting stage...
