: Basically I suggest you not use repartition programs like presizer.

Although presizer can change the cluster size, it is said to be destructive

: Because if you use this kind of program, the cluster size of your original
: dos partition will still remain at its original size, so if possible,
: it's still better to use fdisk.
: Still, I'll roughly describe the steps. I haven't used presizer, I've only
: used fips, but I think they should be about the same.
: Basically first use defrag or a hard disk reorganization program like
: norton speedisk to reorganize the hard disk, so that all used clusters are
: gathered at the front. Be sure to
: full optimize. Then prepare a floppy disk as a rescue disk, run
: fips, and follow the instructions step by step.

Up to here it's all the same. After entering presizer, choose the partition
you want to modify, choose to modify the partition size, and use +/- to choose
the desired size.
For the parts I can't explain clearly, try it yourself, try and see.
