Well, thanks for your answers warren11 and lawson_whitney, I will try and
see what I can manage.
I can access the ext2 partition and boot into Linux, but I can't access the
vfat partitions when I try to mount them (fs vfat not supported, etc).
And I don't simply turn off the machine, I use halt to do that, but I
forgot to unmount the vfat partitions.
The reason I use a floppy disk to boot is because I don't want lilo to mess
with my win98 partition, at least for a while. I still need windoze,
unfortunately.
Anyway, I will try the solutions.
Thanks again.
