fips15c --> last cylinder used

Hello everyone. I have a 7 GB hard drive at home here with Windows 95 on it, and was trying to repartition it with the revised fips for FAT 32, but it complains that the last cylinder is used so it cannot be shrunk. Now, my question is, how do I figure out which file this is? Yes, I defragged th
