I spoke to the two people in the Dept who know the most about Linux - they
are both of the
opinion that it is your Linux partition that is causing you the problems. 
If you want a multiple
boot system with Linux on it, install Linux after the DOS partition.

How to get rid of your Linux partition?  The one person told me he installs
SCO over Linux and
the other suggested Partition Magic or the FDISK /MBR command in DOS

I do have a 750M partition at the beginning of the hard drive that
