Do a,"Failsafe" partition and format.
e.g in between removing the partitions and remaking them and then
formatting them re-boot the system fully be tween each operation.Don't
forget to say YES to Enable Large disk support(FAT32)when prompted.
Also in the BIOS make sure the Boot Block Anti-Virus option is
disabled if there is one as the windows install can be balked by this
option.

I assume you are using a Win98 startup disk with CDRom support made
from Win98 and using that  for Fdisk and Format /s  and booting with
it to run Setup.

See this MS article:
Windows Err Msg: Fault in MS-DOS Extender (Q87239)

This is often an issue with memory software can easily find, go here

You're welcome!  But, I can't take all the credit, Bill Watt
posted a link to a Microsoft Knowledge Base article that
should have got you there without my help.
