The modem is still plugged in but when it went dead
from power loss I was setting up my dialup and hadn't
finnished with it. 

Also when setting up the dialup it couldn't find the
modem. I done a new hardware search but couldn't find
it. 

Also when I try to boot to DOS it gives me this;

booting 'DOS'
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
_   

^--"above is supposed to be a cursour"

If I could find out how to run fdisk in linux I would
start all over because I have nothing to lose in it
now.

Thank you in advance

P.S. Is this the right way to reply?
