Fips is a program to non-destructively resize a FAT partition. I have done
an update to fips to support FAT32. This update has now been incorporated
into FIPS 2.0.  This version should fix the VBACKUP error message when
rebooting to Win95 after resizing. However, it is strongly recommended that
you backup your root and boot sectors when it asks you if you want to!
This will allow you to restore everything to the previous condition if
something goes wrong. It would also help to have a system boot floppy
around. You can create one with format /s a: or with sys a: on an already
formatted floppy. Fips was not written to support partitions marked with
type 0xC, 0xE, or 0xF. All of these partition type use Logical Block
Addressing (LBA). LBA allows the BIOS to address disks over 8GB. A
partition type of 0xC is a FAT32 partition that uses Logical Block
Addressing (LBA). A partition type of 0xE is a FAT16 partition that uses
LBA. A partition type of 0xF is a FAT16 partition that uses LBA but is less
than 32MB. Not all partitions on LBA disks get marked with partition types
0xC, 0xE, or 0xF, so it is worth trying first. Someone has even reported
success on one of the unsupported partition types--0xC.
