Hi, Before running FIPS you have to do these : [1] Defrag your hard disk. Say 'yes' to optimising the swap file. If the swap file is not optimised and for some reason a part of it left on the system (Hey, it Windows), you will not be able to use all space indicated free. You might also need to run a disk doctor tool like ndd. [2] READ the documentation that comes with Fips.. Prepare the boot flops as instructed - make sure you have restorebb.exe [3] Now run Fips.
