Hello, I had 3 OS installed on 40 GB IDE hard disk, Windows nt+ Debian + Fedora recently I decided to completely remove windows from my pc and install FreeBSD 6.1, 2nd IDE I use for data backup only.
I deleted windows partition installed on the primary partition, with the fdisk utility of FreeBSD installation. After saving changes, I rebooted machine to reconfirm, and read manual again, to avoid data loss. Now with the FreeBSD 6.1 installation cd , Installations stops after detecting my hard disk. I unplugged my 2nd IDE (with data) as it sometimes it shows me data read error thinking it may causing problem. Still the problem is same, i can not proceed beyond the detection of my first IDE detection. my partitions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hdc: 40.0 GB, 40060403712 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4870 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 383 4869 36041827+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdc3 2 342 2725632 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hdc5 * 383 395 104359+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc6 396 777 3068383+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc7 778 1414 5116671 83 Linux /dev/hdc8 1415 1541 1020096 83 Linux /dev/hdc9 1542 1605 514048+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc10 1606 1987 3068383+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc11 1988 2116 1036161 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hdc12 2117 2129 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdc13 2130 2320 1534176 83 Linux /dev/hdc14 2321 2384 514048+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc15 2385 3276 7164958+ 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order and [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 22 0 39121488 hdc 22 1 1 hdc1 22 3 2725632 hdc3 22 5 104359 hdc5 22 6 3068383 hdc6 22 7 5116671 hdc7 22 8 1020096 hdc8 22 9 514048 hdc9 22 10 3068383 hdc10 22 11 1036161 hdc11 22 12 104391 hdc12 22 13 1534176 hdc13 22 14 514048 hdc14 22 15 7164958 hdc15 22 16 2723616 hdc16 I reinstalled the grub 2 times,, still the problem is same.
