I read through the documentations and help pages, little mention of my problem. I was wondering if you can help out. I have a 1GB SCSI drive, partitioned into 3 drives. First is 100MB (primary) for dos programs; the other two are in an extended partition. Within the extended partiton, I created 2 logical paritions, 500MB (win95) and 400MB (potential UNIX); respectively C:\ D:\ E:\ When I ran FIPS, indicates only two drives, I guess the 100MB and the 900MB. If I continue with splitting the 2nd drive, will that kill my win95? I'm new to installing UNIX, can you give me a step by step procedure or at least giveme some hints as to how to proceed. thanks.
