Defrag might if he is trying to use to to clear things from the end of the partition so that he can resize the partitions.

Plus, have you researched whether there will be compatability issues running one hard drive with two different file systems on two seperate partitions? I know FAT32 for Win9X would not allow you to create extra partitions on the same drive if they were non-FAT File Systems. NTFS might not give you that headache tho. Might be better off finding a small hard drive and installing it there solo.
??? WTF are you talking about ??? I have run many dual boot windows 9X with FAT32 and linux systems from the same hard drive. maybe the Fdisk that comes with windows will not create them but fdisk that comes with linux creates the partitions fine and everything runs fine. For those you just use presizer to shrink the FAT32 if it is to big and then boot ujp the linux installer and install.
