Re: Re: Re: Installing on a logical DOS partition
I can think of two alternatives. (There may well be others.) The first is to delete the DOS logical partition either with DOS fdisk or with a utility such as Partition Magic or the (cheaper and IMO excellent) BootitNG from TeraByte Unlimited. Then using the partitioning utility, resize the extended partition to leave room for your FreeBSD install. yep I got what you were saying...I picked up Bootithere's what my hdd looks like... c:4777 Mb fat-32 extended dos 143126Mb Linux d: 2502Mb fat-32..(to be used later) Multimedia e: 8801MB fat-32 Backup f: 1004Mb fat-32 OS g:2008MBfat-32(here's where i want to install FBSD.) When I delete the OS(g:).(thro' bootit.) the space appears as free space...how do I resize my Extended Dos partition...thro bootit.i tried the resize option on the Extended partition but wasn't sure what to do there were 4 boxes (divided into 2 parts).. here's what they said.. Beginning Free space Outside _ Mb(we are supposed to fill in the size in Mb...) Free space Inside_ Mb End Free space Outside _ Mb Free space Inside_ Mb .the problem is that I don't want to experiment cause ..I don't want to lose any data. and also that I'm not sure on what exactly to do...if you'd just tell me how to go about doing this I'd be grateful Thanx.

Re: Re: Re: Installing on a logical DOS partition
It amounts to exactly the same thing - when the installation is done you'll have a FreeBSD "slice" where the DOS "partition" was. You'll be shown a screen during the installation that lists the partitions (Windows language) or slices (FreeBSD language) on your machine, which will show an area on the disk being used for DOS. First delete the DOS partition, then create a FreeBSD slice in the emptied space (it's very quick and simple). Then proceed with the rest of the installation. Jud The program shows the primary dos partition and extended dos partition but not any logical partitions under the extended partition..the logical partition on which I wish to install Fbsd is the last one...if I delete a 'slice' of a particular size will fbsd delete any other partitions?

Re: Installing on a logical DOS partition
- Original Message - From: Joe & Fhe Barbish To: Piyush Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 10:44 PM Subject: RE: Installing on a logical DOS partition FBSD does not install into DOS partitions. During the FBSD install it will show you the primary hard drive. If the dos partition is on the primary HD you will have to use commands from the screen that displays the HD, to delete the DOS partition and allocate the FBSD slice to that free space. Isn't it possible to use the space in the DOS partition for FBSD,I dont mind formatting it as 165(the FBSD filesystem),i just don't know how to allocate space on my hard-disk for freebsd is this possible(keeping my Windows primary partition which stores Windows..)..and if possible how? I've already installed Linux(Red-hat,mandrake,suse)and I was thinking on those lines where you can ask Linux to use a particular partition for it and then format it to ext2 and run Linux...Is something like this possible thro' Fbsd? Thanx.. Piyush
Installing on a logical DOS partition
Hi, I have a logical DOS partition(e:),on which I wanted to install FREE-BSD,I didn't know how to go about selecting this partition as the partition on which I wish to install FREE-BSD during the install process,can you please tell me how I could do this or any resource which(on the WEB) would help me on this front. Thanx in advance, Piyush
