            Try going back into your BIOS and resetting everything back to default values.
    Alternately, you may have a defective CD disk since you can boot from the
    Partition Magic CD.

            [NOTE: I'm assuming that the Win98SE CD is bootable like the NT & Win2k CD's;
    but I could be wrong.]

            Cheers!
