you might want to make sure you've got enough resources to run wubi:

What are the system requirements?
256 MB RAM and an 1 GHz or faster Intel/AMD processor is
recommended for optimal performance, though Xubuntu
might work on less. As for disk space, the installation
requires a minimum of 5GB free. This space is mostly
used by the virtual hard disk file. Most computers
purchased within the last 3 years should be able to run
Ubuntu fine, and Xubuntu is suitable for older
computers. Software raids (aka fakeraid) are not
supported. Encrypted disks are not supported.
Also, could you be a little more descriptive of your problem:
Exactly what part of the installation is failing?
What is the exact error message?
What is not working about setting the partition info?
What does it do/say when it fails to load?
Do you get as far as re-booting your computer before the error?
Why are you still using win98? (just out of curiosity)
Anything else you can think of that might be helpful?
