OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND?!

Now that I have your attention.

I do need your help desperately.

I took my old Celeron 400MHz (*sigh*) setup and refurbished it. It's good as new, with it's 64 Mb of RAM and everything, lol, but I've come to a dilemma. On start up, it simply says at the top, "Operating System not found"

So, reboot, press F11, and sure enough, it's telling me that it has Win98/2000 installed on it. Can't get to it though, can't get anywhere past that "OS not found" screen.

After I get that fixed, I want to install Redhat, cause I hear that it's gentle on old antique machines. Exactly how do I install Linux on a machine that already is SUPPOSED to have Windows on it? (I'm a major newb when it comes to this)

Please help me!!

Did you have to set your primary partition as "active"?
