I did make XP-PRO NTFS, and on my second drive I have half NTFS and half FAT32 because the FAT32 will share media between between both OS. I am installing heavy duty programs on the first half of my secondary drive. Is this a problem?
I believe I just deepened my problem. I tried mapping my drives using Partion Magic 8 and now I can't get into XP.
I get to the login and loads my settings and then logs me off. Heh...this is getting fun. I am sure there is a solution. 
If I resolve this, how do I get into Disk Management? I wish I read your post before I ventured into mapping.
Thanks for your time
Well, this is how I see it...
I guess that you used fdisk out of habit. When you are using XP it would be better to carefully predetermine the partition size requirements and format using - only - the XP CD.
(My preference is to never dual-boot different operating systems on the same computer, btw, especially when it is possible to upgrade and old '98 computer's motherboard, drive and monitor.)
When the drive has been prepared using the XP CD, you can format the primary C: drive to FAT32 ready for '98 and then stop the XP install and install '98 on C: to get the computer running.
Back to the XP install, but this time installing on D: and formatting to NTFS. (Pity that the XP CD doesn't allow for a '98 install before going ahead and installing XP.)
With drives over 32 GB XP won't allow you to format to FAT32 so I would consider this suggestion.
200 GB gives 186.26 GB of binary space which is 190734 MB
Three 32 GB FAT32 partitions is 98304 MB which leaves 98304 MB or 90.26 GB
That would give you a 90.26 GB partition which can be formatted to NTFS and three 32 GB partitions where you can choose FAT32 or NTFS and change if you need to.
There are a number of commands which can be run from the Recovery Console, - fixboot - is one - fixmbr - if you need to and - bootcfg /rebuild - , etc. It is always a good idea to install the Recovery Console on the hard-drive.
Partition Magic. Hmmm. I use TeraByte Unlimited's BootIT NG which has a Partition Resizer, is very fast, and I think better than PM, which tries to do too much, in my opinion, and I have to admit, limited experience, never having used it myself.
I don't convert volumes unless I really have to, preferring to delete and re-format.
After using PM it might be best if I leave you to make the decisions, as I have read too many horror stories of PM going wrong.
E.G. I only resize with BootIT NG where there is a single primary and then only after uninstalling any anti-virus program so as to ensure that nothing is running during re-sizing. BootIT NG's resizer runs of a bootdisk rather than from the Windows UI.
I do use TeraByte Unlimited's Image for Windows, whichruns from the desktop, but the restore is also done from a bootdisk (on the C: (boot) drive) using Image for DOS.
With the boot manager that's four programs for US$60, I seem to remember.
