Hi, Start in windows xp and use bootpart from: http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm
List your partition of your disks with this tool and have look where freebsd is installed. (It is a nice freeware tool and you don't risk any damage to the partition table!) You can than create with Bootpart a 512 byte file that contains an image of your freebsd boot sector. Bootpart will copie it to c:\ (for example). It can even add the correct text string and references to your newly created (for example) freebsd.bin file in boot.ini. good luck ---- Messages d�origine ---- De: Ion-Mihai Tetcu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: jeudi, janvier 15, 2004 5:22 pm Objet: Re: dual-booting with xp > On Thu, 15 Jan 2004 11:15:02 -0500 > Duane Winner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.9 on a machine that already has XP > > installed.
