Yup, the Xserver does not yet support the Trio3D chipset, except in normal VGA
mode (which sucks!!)
You should be able to boot from a DOS (or Windoze 95/98) boot disk and run
fdisk. Delete the non-dos (linux) partitions and create a primary partition.
Reboot and use the format command to format your new partition (C Drive).
Whala.

Now you can install DOS/Windows/whatever...
