Partition a small FAT drive

[Jack]

Hi,
I am running DOSBox, it runs fine on my NTFS partition but it causes windows
xp to check harddisks everytime the computer boots again after I run windows
3.1
So I decide to partition a small FAT area for my windows 3.1
Without resorting to 3rd party tool like system commander, is it possible to
create a small FAT drive when all of my other drives are already
partitioned..
Thanks for any hints

No. Unfortunately, no version of Windows before Vista provides any way
of changing the existing partition structure of the drive
nondestructively.

BootIt NG will do this. They have a 30 day free full use trial version.
Also Acronis Disk Director Suite version 10, but it's not free.
