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?
