Anyway, my problem now is that I used FIPS to resize my partition table, and lost about 400 MB in the process! I can't get it back, either through DOS fdisk, or FIPS. I really don't want to have to back up my hard disk, and format. I saw in another post that I could use fdisk /mbr to recreate the Boot Record, but will this cause any problems with Win95? And will it solve my problem?
