In which case, you've possibly stuffed up the partition table/boot sector... Something very odd there - I'd be very inclined to do the installation all on the lib though - I've done it in 32M on 70, though it takes a while: Fdisk as you have done, with 70M either side of cylinder 1024. Format the first partition so it's bootable into dos (e.g. W98 startup disk) and format the second partition as fat16 or 32. Put the drive into your desktop. You don't want to boot from it. Copy the I386 directory from the W2K installation disk to the second partition. Return the disc to the lib, reboot, launch setup.exe or winnt.exe from the I386 files you put on the second partition (it's been a while, can't remember which) and it should all spring to life.
