I may not understand your terminology correctly. Did you copy the MBR as extra ? Just copying the partitions won't be enough. Respectively: did you install the MBR during your second install ? (Why did you do a second install, after all ?) What is the 'Windows bootsector' ? You talk about the MBR or boot.ini ? There is no need to fdisk to multi-boot, btw. Read the FAQ on this. Did you install the OpenBSD bootsector to MBR or to the root-partition ? (I can only hope that these questions help you in understanding my problems of understanding) Uwe
