Is there any way to defrag 2 separate partitions on the same hard drive?

I don't believe there is a way, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

I created two partitions on an 80 GB drive and I'm dual booting Win 98se and WinXP. When I defragged my drive using Norton?s speed disk I was not able to boot Win98, though WinXP booted fine. Some critical files must have been moved out of the boot sector I think. When I choose Win98 at the boot screen, I get a message saying I am using an invalid boot disk. It's a good thing I created an image of my hard drive before I defragged or I would have had to reinstall at least Win98 again.

I still need Win98 to use my CH Fighterstick because there is no key mapping software for WinXP and I won't be getting my new Thrustmaster Cougar until sometime next year when it is released.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
 
Defrag from the OS that boots to that partition only. You will have to install tnorton oin both OS's
