I've my OS and I want to put it on a HD partition. How can I do it?
Is there any aplication?

I used fdisk to make a little partition for my OS. Then I tried to make a code that reads the HD's first sector an shows you the partition table. Then asks you in wich one you want to install it and calculate the first sector in HD of the partition. Finally reads the OS from floppy and write it on the sector it calculated before. It only worked in a PC with one partition, and installed it! but in a PC with four partitions it doesn't works... it destroyed my W98   , but not my LINUX! uff!

I think it doesn't calculate the sector properly.

Do you know anything about this?

u can only have 4 partitions. Its not possible to have more...so one must be deleted.

It is possible to have more than 4 partitions.

The partition table has space for 4 partitions, *but* an extended partition can also store 4 partitions so whenever you create an extended partition you create space for another 4 partitions.
