I suggest you use fdisk to set up your partitions and then format it
using MS tools instead of Partition Magic due to the circumstances.
You will need the updated fdisk.exe in order to see a hard drive
larger than 64GB. It is found near the lower portion of the following
MS webpage:

Install it.
Create a Win98 Startup disk that will contain the updated fdisk tool.
Go into the BIOS to change your startup settings to CD, A, C and save
the settings.
Then, using the new Win98 startup disk and at the A:\> prompt type:
A:\>fdisk
Hit enter
Choose "Y" for large disk support.
Choose Option #1 to create the Primary DOS partition.
When asked if you want to use the entire available space and make it
Active, select "N".
On the next screen you want to change the size of the Primary DOS
partition to "25%" which will be 20 of the 80GB.
Hit Enter
Hit Esc to get back to the menu and select option #1 again to create
the Extended DOS partition.
Hit Enter to use the other 75% of the available space.
Hit Enter
It will bring you to another screen where, when it is done counting
you simply hit Enter again to assign it a drive letter.
Hit Esc to get back to the menu.
Select Option #2 to make a partition Active.
There you want to select (1) to make the PRI DOS partition active.
Hit Esc and it will tell you to restart the PC.
Hit Esc, Esc to get back to the A:\> prompt.
Hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart the PC leaving the Win98 Startup disk
in the floppy drive.
When it gets back to the A:\> prompt type:
A:\>format c: /s
Hit Enter
When done type
A:\>format d:
When done remove the Startup disk from the floppy drive.
Insert your Windows Installation CD.
Hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart.
If my original assumption was incorrect and you are just wanting to
use this as the Secondary hard drive.
When you enter fdisk you need to select Option #5 to select Drive #2.
Then you just need to set it up with no Primary DOS parition and don't
set any as Active as you already have an Active partition being your
C: partition.
Just set it up with one Extended DOS partition and then create two
Logical drives within that Extended DOS partition and then format them
both after restarting as explained earlier.
WARNING: Of course, the Logical drive letter assignments will not be
C:. Take note of the drive letters before exiting from fdisk so that
you are certain of which drive letters you are going to Format before
using Format.
Let's say they were assigned D: and E: then use:
A:\>format d:
and later
A:\>format e:
You do not need to use the switch "/s" to transfer the system files as
suggested in my earlier assumption.
