Line 23: == Limitations == FIPS only works on [[primary partition]]s that are formatted using the [[File Allocation Table]] (FAT) filesystem. Most new machines with Windows pre-installed use [[NTFS]], leaving FIPS obsolete for its intended purpose of resizing existing Windows installations to install Linux. In addition, FIPS cannot grow partitions due to technical limitations with the design, and partitions shrunk with it have some wasted space since it does not shrink the File Allocation Table. The filesystem to be shrunk must also be [[defragmentation\|defragmented]] before FIPS is run - {{px2}}{{mdash}}{{spcs\|2\|hair}}since FIPS does not move data, any data near the end of the partition prevents it from being resized. ==Alternatives==
