Date: Wed, 07 Aug 1996 15:05:46 -1000 Organization: If I belonged to one, you'd see it here Lines: 5 Message-ID: <32093D6A.1102@aloha.net> Reply-To: smpc@aloha.net NNTP-Posting-Host: hawaii29.u.aloha.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0b5aGold (Win95; I) As you can see, I''m a full blown neophyte when it comes to hardware, what cylinder should I specify to start from in FIPS if I don't want it to overwrite any of my existing Win95/Dos files? Should I just leave enough space in the 'old' partition to cover all of the files? And not worry about what cylinder to start from?
