OK thanks for the offer of assistance. The machine in question has two
drives ad0 and ad1. On ad0 there was a native NTFS partition with Win2K
installed. On a separate partion I had Redhat. I decided to get rid of the
redhat installation and use FreeBSD again. So I installed
FreeBSD-5.0Release. It had its way with the MBR and now Win2K cannot boot.
I kind of doubt FreeBSD-5 "had its way with the MBR," or at least a FreeBSD installation has never done anything to the MBR I haven't told it to (correctly or mistakenly;). See whether the Win2K partition is set active.
I
cannot use the recovery option because I cannot for the life of me remember
the admin passwd.
Doh! indeed. Then if setting the Win2K partition active doesn't work, I'm out of better options than your suggestion to do a fresh install and mount the old Win2K partition from there. But I'm no guru. Anyone else have a suggestion?
