Thanks for the help again Bruce but it looks like I have another problem.
Have heard FIPS doesn't do FAT32 and my drive is same.  Looks like I'm going
to get Caldera and take advantage of the pre-packaged Partition Magic.  I've
heard you can easily download the extra things Caldera doesn't come with if
you want them.  Plus, I guess if I don't like it I can always wipe it and
get what I want since it will have already nicely partitioned my drive for
me :).

Thanks for the help guys and I'll let you know how it turns out.
