Assuming your Win98 drive is /dev/hda and your Linux drive is /dev/hdb,
did you call fdisk this way:
fdisk /dev/hdb
I believe fdisk will, by default, show only the boot drive (the one with
the master boot record on it). If your boot drive is /dev/hda (the Win98
one), then you would have to run fdisk /dev/hdb to show the Linux drive,
even if you're running under Linux. If you run the DOS version of fdisk,
you probably will neither see nor be able to do anything with the Linux
drive.
