Question about Fdisk and win98, or any o/s for that matter

Hello,

I have many problems at the moment, but came here for perhaps some advice Fdisk, just prior to
instal of win98

Question is regarding the " % " symbol while making partitions on a clean hdd.
The hdd in question is 80gig. I already know about Fdisks limits above 64gig hdd's.......
but already know that that can be overcome by simply not nominating the size during partitioning
with Fdisk, and rather just using percentages ( %)....... I know this because I have already
done it on my my primary computer.

Bottom line is,,,, when Fdisk asks for the size of partition or percentage, does the ' % ' symbol
get put in before the nominated %, or does it go in after?
I.E.... if i want to allocate say '10%' for the first logical drive, do i write it like this
' 10% ' or like this ' %10 '? it has been over 3 years since i have done this.

this all came about today when i wiped an 80gig drive clean, then proceeded to to make a primary and
some logicals using Fdisk. after finishing what i thought was a job well done, i then proceeded
to load on 98se to the freshly formatted c:drive...... no problem there, cept when instal
finished, i noticed 2 partitions were missing, then noticed that nothing was as i had set it up in
Fdisk.... so, i guess i just want to be sure about the % symbol before i start again.

cheers.
