You won't find many alternatives for win9x. My vote goes with Raxco's perfectdisk over diskeeper, but it doesn't support '98 either.
With win9x's built-in defragmenter you should safe-boot first else it'll restart continually when other programs touch the disk. Restart, wait for the POST power-up beep, then start hitting F8 until you get to the safe boot menu.
