No, there are several utilities that will re-size the DOS partition. FIPS, and 
Partition Magic come to mind. But a backup is always a good idea.

You can run Fat32 if it is set in Boot Manager. And any of the Fdisk programs
will activate the Bootmanager partition. DOS, OS/2, Partition Magic, and Linux 
I know will do it.


Have a good day!!
