'''FIPS''' ('''First nondestructive Interactive Partition Splitter''') <ref>{{cite web|Firstfirst=Arno|Lastlast=Schäfer|title=Welcome to FIPS - The First nondestructive Interactive Partition Splitting program|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20090413115233/http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/fips/fips.doc|publisher=Arno Schaefer|accessdate=9 January 2012}}</ref> - is a [[DOS]] program for non-destructive splitting of [[File Allocation Table]] (FAT) [[hard disk partition]]s.

Splitting partitions is an alternative to deleting the partitions and creating new ones using software such as [[fdisk]], the advantage of which is that the data is not lost. The most common use is installing multiple operating systems on a single computer.
