Strictly speaking this isn't a freeBSD problem but it
relates to it so i thought I'd give it a try here.

I am running Windows ME (yuck) on my laptop and wanted
to shrink the partition so I could create a second one
and install freeBSD on it.  I'm not real confident
that one of the free tools (fips) in the freeBSD ftp
directory works on FAT 32 (the document only indicate
FAT16).

On the other hand presizer.exe does indicate it will
work on FAT32, but when I set it up and ran it I got
this message...

   The Partition Resizer v. 1.3.0 (c) Zeleps 1994-98

   Please wait...Cecking:
   -Available physical IDE drives...done.
   -Partition structure...Divide error


So my questions are...
Does anyone understand what I did wrong?
What do I need to do to do it right?
If this just won't work on windows ME does anyone know
of one that will (one that does not require me to pay
60 bucks plus for something I will use once)?
