Not maybe, there is. Fips works OK, but only with DOS partitions. It can
be other partitions in the drive, from wherever and whicherver taste, but
fips will only split DOS ones. All you need is to have all the data at the
beginning of the partition (use Norton's SD) and call fips. It'll give you
the partition table, prompt you which part to split, and to what extent. If
it has some problem, leave the part table untouched, so it's fairly secure.
You can found it at sunsite.unc.edu.
