What were the symptoms when starting Win98? Could you start it and it was flakey or did it fail to boot?
Regarding the 4Gb, it's probably formatted for Linux which Windows doesn't recognise. If you do not want to persist with Mandrake, initialise it using fdisk to some windows compliant file system. eg FAT Sorry to hear you were unsuccessful. I've installed Mandrake dual-boot several times with success so I guess thats why they say YMMV (your mileage may vary). Slug runs (fairly) regular install fests where experienced linux people can help you do the install. Hope this helps.
