There is one way that I can think of, but not being an expert in this field, it may not be ideal.

If possible, you could create a new partition (FAT32?) and copy all of the data to it, and then recreate the original partition using Windows NT/2k/XP setup. Although this would mean loss of applications and user settings, all data would be kept. I think that the command is cfdisk.
