The actual version of alice does NOT support partial new partioning of a hard
disk. I hope that Alice will learn that in later versions.
You can _TRY_ the following. If your FATxx is hda1 and is 2000 MB than
the first line should be
NONE 2000 num=1
In that case hopefully :-) your win partition survives the partitioning. THIS
IS NOT AN OFFICIAL HINT. IF ANY DATA ARE LOSS THERE IS NOT
WARRANTY.
