From the looks of it you have still not installed linux, so you dont
have much to lose. Boot from a dos floppy and dlete the linux partitions
and start afresh. But it may so happen that fdisk of dos would not be able
o delete your linux partition. In that case create a logical partition of
the same size as linux, which will overwrite it, following which you will
be able to delete.
I have faced this problem in creating partitions with anaconda which
came with pc-quests RHL-6.2 a couple of times.
