I'm trying to set up a dual boot (w98/Linux) system.  I'm using 
Partition Magic 4 on Windows 98 to try to set up a partition for Linux.  I
resized the Windows 98 partition to leave space to install Linux.  After
selecting the size of the partition, the program reboots to dos.  Here, it 
gives me the message "Bios check OK".  It then clears the screen except for a
cursor at the bottom which flashes across the screen and continues to do this.
During this time, I can tell by listening to the computer that the hard drive
is inactive. How do I fix this? 

Thanks,

David Reid
