I know the feeling. There's a lot of info out there and sometimes it's
hard to dig through it all.

I had no problems mounting my Win98 partition when installing Debian.
When it asked for the location of the install stuff, I switched to another
virtual terminal using <alt>-F2 and did "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt" from that
terminal. I then switched back using <alt>-F1 and selected "already
mounted file system." I had the Debian stuff under c:\My
Documents\linux\debian, so for the location of the files I used
/mnt/mydocu~1/linux/debian.
Hope that helps.
