I haven't had much to complain about with PM since version 4. I haven't used FIPS in forever (since like '95 or so), so I can't really remember, but my faulty memory thinks it went ok.
Somebody said something about PM choking more often from a Win 2K/XP install rather than boot floppies, and I kinda agree with that. My experience is that running PM from a Win 2K/XP install often leaves the partition table in a weird state. It doesn't cause problems with previously installed OSes, but new OSes don't like it and often refuse to install or complain loudly about errors. At the installfest PM puked on me while resizing a primary and an extended partition. However, we rebooted the machine into Win2K, ran ScanDisk on C: and D: and then retried PM. After the ScanDisk it resized the partitions without problem. BTW, ScanDisk should be an item on our pre-installfest requirements.
