I've been trying to install linux for the first time (well.... 2nd if u count a umbdos
install)
basically i've tried running fips but it will only let me create a 100mb or so
partition max (the partition i want to split has over 2gb free). How can I find more
space?
I've defragged using the defrag program in win98 (1st edition). It was not until I
unchecked the rearrange program files.... option that I even got the option for a
100mb partition. The windows swap file was also disabled for the duration of the
attempt.
LBA is on if that effects anything.
How do I move that junk that is apparently cluttering up some sections nearby the end
of the hard drive?
here's that debug file the program generated:
FIPS debug file
The command was: A:\FIPS.EXE -d

Info: Partition table inconsistency
FIPS has detected that the 'physical' start or end sector (head/cylinder/
sector) do not match with the 'logical' start/end sector. This is not
an error since the 'physical' values are redundant and not used anyway.
There are many configurations where the values differ. This message is
meant only to inform you that FIPS has adapted the 'physical' values
according to the current drive geometry. So don't be alarmed by an unex-
pected cylinder range.
