So how I partition it and what do you think i'm suppose to do now? You'll find fips within the `tools' directory. It works fine with FAT16 partitions. If you've W95 with VFAT 32 you need to buy partition magic or to reinstall W95 after partitioning the hard disk. What does partition mean? You must divide your hard disk into separate partitions which can be used by different OS. Your harddisk `looks' like two or more disks if you've two or more partitions. Try FDISK under DOS to display the partition(s) on your hard disk. You can start FIPS under DOS to modify the partition table. I recommend Greg Leheys `The Complete FreeBSD' (Walnut Creek CDROM Books) to you since it can help a novice very much.
