XP was first and took the 1st 20gig and then Freebsd was installed and took the last 20. I did not mark and bootable partitions, i just installed the freebsd boot mbr to the hd and it boots xp and itself just fine. What i would like to find out is how to have xp on its own drive and freebsd on its own drive and be able to boot either such as i do now. I saw a device that connected to each drive and jumps over the drive to make it primary, sec.etc... to boot the drive you wanted but i don't have the money for it now so i need to find out how to achieve this with the freebsd boot manager. -- Best regards, SweeTLeaF mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
