No. I don't think. If you have some courage, you can write a small dos
or
linux or bsd basing program, which moves your partition a few cylinders
ago (right word?).
Don't forget to modify the MBR!
If Your Windows partition is to big, use fips before to shrink it.
Inside a FAT partition, all sectors are addressed relative to the start
(LBA),
so it makes no difference for the system were the partition starts.
the algorithm should be like
int i;
unsigned n = 100MB;
for( i = last sector; i >= 0; i-- )
hd_sector[i+n] = hd_sector[i];

Thank me when I helped you solve your problem, not when I help you crash
your
HD :-)
