Correct. You might want to use: # fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr to make sure BootEasy is not installed instead of a plain MBR. Summing it all up in "steps", something like the following would be fine: 1. Make sure the correct partition is 'active'. # fdisk -u /dev/ad0 2. Install plain "MBR" boot code: # fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr 3.

Without warranty, but fdisk -B should do the trick. I think it keeps the partition table and replaces the boot code of the MBR. Make sure the XP slice is marked active, and copy the fdisk output so you can restore it if anything goes wrong. -Harry > > I do have an active WinXP primary slice that I would like to boot from > directly. > > thank you, > > Paulo > > > > __ > Discover Yahoo! > Have fun online with music videos, cool games, IM and more.
