Partiton Magic Problem

[Pavlyk]

Ok yesterday I decided to install Win98. I currently have xp home and decided to use the "Install another operating system" feature to glide me through the steps to create this partition. So ok I fly through everything, restart, it proceeds with creating the partition, then reboots and bam that's it. It says invalid disk error or something like that. Luckily I managed to find a bootable cd which had Partition magic on it and fix my problem but...i set my primary partition c: to active but then the recovery partition goes to hidden, see the attachment:

Can anyone help me out, I'm not too familiar with PM.

use PQboot to reboot to the hidden fat32 (I assume this is the win 98 partition). now treat the hidden partition as a empty hard drive. use your 98 floppy to go to your cd rom setup (something like D/:setup) for 98. it should skip the partioning part and go install window.

when you are done, reinstall pm to reboot back to the other partition or modify your boot.ini file

I got confused like you did the first time I did it

It says invalid disk error or something like that.

it say that because no OS has been install yet
