Check the site of the disk brand for (free) partitioning software.
I have my 200GB Matrox drive partitioned by Maxblast software downloaded  
 from the Matrox site.
W98SE has no problem accessing all the partitions, FAT32 from 5 up to 20GB.
The only problem is that this software does not obey to the rules that the  
partition border should be on a cluster border.
A Linux installer complained but W98 has no problem with it.

For another disk I used Partition Magic but there are probably other  
(freeware) option available.
