-<para>

-If you are manipulating existing FAT or NTFS partitions, it is
-recommended that you either use the scheme below or native Windows or
-DOS tools.  Otherwise, it is not really necessary to partition from DOS
-or Windows; the &debian; partitioning tools will generally do a better
-job.

-But if you have a large IDE disk, and are not using LBA addressing,
-overlay drivers (sometimes provided by hard disk manufacturers), or a
-new (post 1998) BIOS that supports large disk access extensions, then
-you must locate your &debian; boot partition carefully. In this case,
-you will have to put the boot partition into the first 1024 cylinders
-of your hard disk (usually around 524 megabytes, without BIOS
-translation). This may require that you move an existing FAT or NTFS
-partition.

-   <title>Lossless Repartitioning When Starting From DOS, Win-32 or OS/2
-   </title>

-One of the most common installations is onto a system that already
-contains DOS (including Windows 3.1), Win32 (such as Windows 95, 98, Me,
-NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7), or OS/2, and it is desired to put &debian; onto the same disk
-without destroying the previous system. Note that the installer supports
-resizing of FAT and NTFS filesystems as used by DOS and Windows. Simply
-start the installer and when you get to the partitioning step, select the
-option for <menuchoice> <guimenuitem>Manual</guimenuitem> </menuchoice>
-partitioning, select the partition to resize, and specify its new size.
-So in most cases you should not need to use the method described below.

-Before going any further, you should have decided how you will be
-dividing up the disk. The method in this section will only split a
-partition into two pieces. One will contain the original OS and the
-other will be used for &debian;.  During the installation of &debian;, you
-will be given the opportunity to use the &debian; portion of the disk as you
-see fit, i.e., as swap or as a file system.

-The idea is to move all the data on the partition to the beginning,
-before changing the partition information, so that nothing will be
-lost.  It is important that you do as little as possible between the
-data movement and repartitioning to minimize the chance of a file
-being written near the end of the partition as this will decrease the
-amount of space you can take from the partition.

-The first thing needed is a copy of <command>fips</command> which is
-available in the <filename>tools/</filename> directory on your nearest &debian;
-mirror. Unzip the archive and copy the files
-<filename>RESTORRB.EXE</filename>, <filename>FIPS.EXE</filename> and
-<filename>ERRORS.TXT</filename> to a bootable floppy.  A bootable floppy can
-be created using the command <filename>sys a:</filename> under DOS.
-<command>fips</command> comes with very good documentation which you may
-want to read.  You will definitely need to read the documentation if
-you use a disk compression driver or a disk manager.  Create the disk
-and read the documentation <emphasis>before</emphasis> you defragment the disk.

-
-The next thing needed is to move all the data to the beginning of the
-partition. <command>defrag</command>, which comes standard with DOS 6.0 and
-later, can easily do the job.  See the <command>fips</command> documentation
-for a list of other software that may do the trick.  Note that if you
-have Windows 9x, you must run <command>defrag</command> from there, since
-DOS doesn't understand VFAT, which is used to support for long
-filenames, used in Windows 95 and higher.
-
-</para><para>
-
-After running the defragmenter (which can take a while on a large
-disk), reboot with the <command>fips</command> disk you created in the
-floppy drive.  Simply type <filename>a:\fips</filename> and follow the directions.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Note that there are many other partition managers out there, in
-case <command>fips</command> doesn't do the trick for you.

-If you are partitioning for DOS drives, or changing the size of DOS
-partitions, using &debian; tools, many people experience problems working
-with the resulting FAT partitions.  For instance, some have reported
-slow performance, consistent problems with <command>scandisk</command>, or
-other weird errors in DOS or Windows.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Apparently, whenever you create or resize a partition for DOS use,
-it's a good idea to fill the first few sectors with zeros. You should do
-this prior to running DOS's <command>format</command> command by executing
-the following command from &debian;:
-
-<informalexample><screen>
-# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdXX bs=512 count=4
-</screen></informalexample>
