I use Norton/Powerquest Partition Magic 8. It is available on various boot discs. This will work if your drive appears as a Legacy device (P-ATA emulation), and probably not work if the drive is connected to a RAID controller.

If you have a RAID controller, you can partition the harddisk on another machine. For Windows 98 to work, you'll need to install it on a PATA drive first, load install the RAID driver, "sys" the SATA disk, and finally transfer the operating system to the new drive.
