Run partition magic, resize the drive. Install NT on the new partition.
You can get a patch from MS that allows NT to see FAT32 drives, or at least
there is a utility I have I got from somewhere that allows it to happen.
The best option is to just install W2k. You can dual boot it if you like,
or just upgrade.

Subject: Dual booting NT with Windows 98 on a FAT32 partition
Hi all,
I have a laptop with a large drive (30GB) that has Windows 98 on a FAT32
partition of about 10GB and the other 20GB has Ghost images for backups and
some testing scenarios. I would love to be able to repartition this
machine so I can add NT to this machine but I'm not sure of the best way to
do this without losing the 98 setup. PartitionMagic 4.0 was initially used
to setup the drives on this machine so that is available to me.
Has anyone done this or seen any good documentation on how to accomplish
this without losing my 98 configuration?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin Bachelder
