Partition Magic 5.01 is the earliest version intended to work with W2K.
You will want a FAT32 partition anyway, in order for linux to be able to
write files which may be read in 2K, so you could simply wipe off the
folders you don't want from the W98 partition.  If you use a
non-W2K-compatible partition manager to resize, you will likely need to
re-install W2K afterwards.  Not the end of the world.
