The VFAT32 layout is significantly different. It is, effectively, using a stacker-type layout for block allocation to resolve the fragmentation issues, and a number of changes to the way the partition itself is laid out. A number of people have reported munging their Windows98 partitions to death using these tools on their systems. The only product that I know gets this right is a commercial one (Partition Magic).
