Can you give us a full description of all the components that make up this system?
Is the drive detected and configured properly in the BIOS?
Has your copy of Win98se been successfully used before? (Maybe a bad CD?)
Try Win2kpro.

Alright, I formatted, removed all partitions, created a new primary dos partition, and installed Redhat 6.2, which works fine now
and linux is actually what I originally wanted on it, so problem is pretty much solved B)
Thanks guys though
now I just need to figure out how to work linux...lol

Why Redhat 6.2? Even Redhat 9 is coming to the end of it's support life.
6.2 had so many bugs in it I found it almost unworkable. RH9 (it's on suprnova, 3cd's) still has free bug fixes at the moment. RH Enterprise 3 AS is also on suprnova, but you can't get bug fixes without a license key so it's not such a good bet.
.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
6.2 was just a retail version I had layin around, so I gave it a shot....
