I am having probpem getting Fips running on my laptop. After several defrag, I still get the "last cylinder full" error after I boot from Dos. There is a thingy on my laptop called "suspend to disk" which saves the operating environment when I shut down or power down. I am suspecting this is what rewriting the defragged disk. Does anyone know of any other free disk partitioning tool without losing the current fat? Apu
