Well, it figures. After I get to my wits end and post my problem to
PCBuild, I get an idea to try one more thing. I re-did my Win98 Boot Disk.
After that, everything seems to work as it should with fdisk. I guess there
was something wrong with the copy I was using earlier. Nothing like
overloooking the obvious. Doh!
