My hard drive is as so, for now :-), 4 partitions@ ~2GB each, running only Win95.. Now I have also run FIPS once before (basically being a little to anxious about getting FreeBSD up and running), and now my primary (i.e. C: drive) is almost divided in half (no data loss luckily). Now, do have to redo ALL my extended partitions just to get this 504MB for FreeBSD (again, pg. 36 in book), and can I run FIPS again to redo this primary partition? any input anyone? thanx!
