That should work, and is how I'd approach it, but I haven't done it before, and don't know if it's the best way.
 
I just finished resizing my partitions to triple boot MS-DOS, Windows XP and Linux. MS-DOS couldn't find COMMAND.COM on the FAT32 partition unless I stuck it before 8GB so I had to reduce my XP partition to 6GB which looks quite funny but IT FINALLY WORKS! Hooray for GParted. :awe:
