There's the problem. It can't find your linux filesystem. I'm guessing that lnx4win is started from a batch file which expects it to be installed on C: (usually /dev/hda1), while you've put it on E: (which is /dev/hda3 if it's the third partition on the first IDE hard disk). So you need to open the batch file and edit any "hda1" to "hda3".
If it's second partition on second disk, it's "hdb2" or first partition on second disk "hdb1" (see a pattern?). You might even find some documentation in the comments in the batch file on how to do this if I've got it wrong.
Hopefully then, you'll be able to run Linux without panicking. ;-)
