I'm trying to recover my partition. I had it split up my 6GB HD into 2.5GB Windows98 and
3.5GB Linux (Mandrake 7.1). I just recently could not boot up into Linux. I got this error
during bootup:
> Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05

So, I was going to just remove the Linux partition and freshly install LM 7.2
But, when I run Partition Magic Pro 6.0 in DOS, I get Error 105:
> Error 105 Partition starts on wrong boundary
>
> Cause of this problem:
> The hard-disk partition table contains erroneous values. PartitionMagic expects
> FAT, NTFS, and HPFS partitions to begin and end on the boundaries used by 
> FDISK. If they  do not, the disk may be partially corrupted. In this circumstance, if
> PartitionMagic were to make any modifications it might cause loss of data.
> Therefore, PartitionMagic refuses to recognize any of the hard diskοΏ½s partitions.

So what can I do to resize my Windows98 partition to the full size of the HD without
damaging the Win98 partition?

Here's the PartitionInfo output:
