If u use fips properly there should be no problem Take a backup on a second HDD that which i guess you can borrow First reduce your pagefiles to minimal and then defragment your HDD Check using the defragmenter wheather the data is contiguous .. (things were easier in the Dos days) and create a new partition of xyz megabytes or xyz cylinders / sectors I had used fips in the slakware days .. Of course with an Hdd backup Use it properly and it should not mess up Partition magic .. never used it so no comments Regards Sandesh ----- Original Message ----- From: Webmaster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 1999 6:02 PM Subject: Re: Help! > i am a novice to the grp but i have tried to use fips earlier, yes it is > jerky for me .. any guys find fips easier ?? pls help .. > > regards, > > chetan > -----Original Message----- > From: Vishal Doshi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wednesday, October 13, 1999 2:07 AM > Subject: RE: Help! > > > >FIPS or partition magic. > >both are risky though > > > >Vishal > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: Subash D'Souza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > >Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 1999 8:06 PM > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: Help! > > > > > >Hi Guys, > > I have 9.1 GB hard disk and i want to install linux,the problem is that > >i don't have partitions and therefore i'm not willing to format my harddisk > >since i have lot of critical data so if any of u know some freeware > >partitioning tools or any options i would be glad to know > >Subash > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > >
