Under win98, format the D: drive. It will not be your Linux
partition. Win98 will not give an unknown system a drive letter. I
have set up several systems in almost exactly the way you
described and they all worked fine. The only problem I had was the
booting, and once I got GAG to look after that There were no
problems.
Have fun with it. If you make mistakes you can always reinstall
AND you will have learned something.
Once again, welcome to the Brave New World and remember 7x9 is not
42.
Stay well and happy
