Use the commercially-available "Partition Magic" software
(http://WWW.PowerQuest.COM) to "resize" a partition,
which creates "free" space on the disk.
Then, allocate a partition, from within that "free" space.







But if you don't want to spend money use free linux tools that works great and save mbr in case you want to use only win98

I dont think theres a linux tool that supports FAT32X (this is NOT FAT32), if there is whats it called?
V4 of Partition Magic is now available, via E-commerce,
but it is a _LARGE_ download -- it takes _HOURS_ to download.
It will shipped, in early October, 1998.
Under dosutils you find fips it will resize any type of partition and let you save mbr
I've heard that FIPS cannot resize an HPFS-formatted partition.
Is this still true?
