Hello. When attempting to use fips, I saw that the numbers for the starting cylinder never change. I have a 6.49 gig hard drive. So I entered to have the new partition begin on the first free cylinder. Instead, the old partition was decreased by only .02 gb. Fortunately I was able to restore everything back. What other approach could be used to create another partition without destroying data on this disk? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
