I'm having some problems. My main OS is Win98. I don't know if the
second partition came about while fiddling with Partition Magic 4 or
after installing Red Hat Linux 5.2 (and using its disk partition
software). 

Now I can't get rid of it. Win98 works fine, scandisk can't see any
problems at all. Partition Magic immediately quits with an error so I
can't use it. Norton disk doctor (v.2 for win95 but in DOS) sees it
but can't fix it.

What do I do?

BTW, the 2nd extended partition seems to be wrong since the primary +
1st extended = 8Gb (total capacity of HD)
