FIPS won't work on partitions formatted in FAT32, the format the later
revisions of Windows 95 are set to format by default. This is due to, I
beleive the specifications for FAT32 being with-held by Microsoft
Corporation, and hence is probably targetted at the Linux community,
because FIPS won't work on them.

Sorry about this. You can backup and delete, and make two new partitions.
Let me repeat this, never format a Windows 95 partition in FAT32 unless
you enjoy causing trouble.

Michael.
