Post subject:  Put Knoppmyth onto a drive that already has a FAT32 Partit?

I got Knoppmyth to work on a separate drive, but I needed to use the drive in a system I was building. So I used Partition Magic 8.0 to move a FAT32 partition on a larger drive I have, then copied the 3 or 4 partitions that Knoppmyth had created onto the free space at the beginning of the drive--made the new partitions the same size, except the partition for storing video was just 5 Gigs. The FAT32 partition has no operating system installed--its just for data, and its the 2nd drive on the primary IDE.

Unfortunatelly, when I selected HD-1 to boot from in the BIOS, Knoppmyth doesn't come up.

Has anybody gotten it to run on part of a drive or know of a way to do this that might work, without overwriting the FAT32 partition?

Or, has anybody installed Knoppmyth then made the partition for data smaller afterwards, in order to squeeze a FAT32 partition onto the same drive?
