I am dual booting with Winblows XP and FreeBSD. I installed the FreeBSD Boot

an NTFS volume so fdisk/mbr doesn't work and neither does booting to an xp cd
recovery console and using fixboot or fixmbr. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] booteasy boot
manager still leaves something in the mbr....nothing works! I cannot believe that I
am the only human being on the planet that has encountered this problem! A LITTLE
HELP???
Hmmm... "scoured", eh? Googling "FreeBSD MBR uninstall" returns over
5000 hits. That's probably too many to cope with, but luckily the
correct answer is listed at least twice in the top five pages.
(Moral of the story: if your search terms are leading you nowhere,
try different search terms ;).
Use an XP boot floppy/CD with their fdisk program and "fdisk /MBR".
If you'd prefer to remove the MBR using FreeBSD, see:
man fdisk
You can also clobber the MBR the same way you installed it in the
first place: using sysinstall. This will simply invoke FreeBSD's
fdisk on your behalf, if I'm not mistaken.
