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.
