Hi all,

I'm planning to install Linux on a machine that is already running Windows
98. On issuing an fdisk command, I found that the hard drive(4.1 GB) is
being utilized 100% as a DOS partition.

I was wondering, if it would be possible to install Linux as is or would
the drive need to be re-partitioned. I imagine that a re-partition would
mean the loss of all the data on the drive.

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
