Perhaps the partition was created when you ran fips?
See, there are two concepts here: One, you have your windows partition.
Using fips, you made it shrink so there was some free space:
-----------...............................
|windows | freespace :
-----------..............................:
Two, you shrank it using fips, which created the free space, and made a
partition at that time itself. So you may already have a partition
(/dev/hda2 or /dev/hda5).

|windows | blank,unformatted partition |
