Windows 2000 to Linux

Smilie I currently have windows 2000 installed on a 38 Gigabyte HD. I recently picked up a 'Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours' book. The book comes with a copy of redhat 5.0 (hurricane). I tried reinstalling windows with a partition of 10 GBs with a fat32 file system. That left me with roughly 28 Gigs of unallocated space. I copied the boot and supplimental disks from the Redhat cd. In the book it says I would have trouble using the 'fips' command (on the boot disk). So I downloaded Partition Magic (like the book says to). It didn't even recognize my partition. It just showed 1 Primary Partition the whole size of my HD. I tried adding a logical partition (to install linux to). 1024 MB in size with a ext2 file type. Also a 516MB swap partition. It logged off and proceeded to make the partitions. When i got back to windows PM (part magic) showed my primary (CSmilie 1.5 gigs less (36.5GB) than the size of my hd (38GB). Which makes sense cause i just made the two new ones. But which also doesn't make sense because my C: is only 10GB in My computer. PM also showed the new extended partition with the two logical partitions. So (thinking the new partitions are there) i pop in the boot disk and reboot. setup start so far so good. When i get to Diskdruid. My 10GB Partition is there but no swap or linux partitions. So i went back to windows deleted the extended partion . now i am getting delaid write failures. wtf is going on?
what did i do wrong?
