Oh, I remember the days.
I used to have my HD set up like this. 2GB FAT, 1GB ext2 "/" partition,
1GB ext2-on-a-stick (i.e., in a file) partition with my downloads in it.
This failed miserably. I kept getting errors on the ext2-on-a-stick. I
think it's something about FAT that caused file corruption. Eventually, I
had to delete the file and make it again.
And then, a month later, again.
It was horrible. Don't do it.
Decrease your FAT partition instead, and get a program that lets you read
ext2 partitions from windows ("ext2explorer" or something).
