I think a drag and drop does will also prefer to copy as binary. Kent I tried the following: bsdlabel -B ad0s3 according to the manual this should recreate boot1 and boot2 ? I made a backup of boot1 but the above command does not recreate boot1. It only does something with /boot/boot. So i restored the backup of boot1, copied the first 512 bytes of /boot/boot to a usb-stick using dd. I booted back into windows and used xcopy to copy the boot1-file to my c:.

Dualboot Ntloader invalid slice
Hi, I am trying to get a double boot system on my laptop with FreeBSD and Windows XP. I have tried this before using NTLOADER on my desktop-pc (by following the directions in the faq) and it works like a charm, but not on my laptop... I installed FreeBSD, copied /boot/boot1 to a usb-stick, set my windows-slice active and added a freebsd-entry to my boot.ini. When i boot i get the ntloader-menu, it boots xp just fine but when i choose FreeBSD i get invalid slice. I can get back into my freebsd-install by setting it's slice active again (using boot/rescue-cd). I am using FreeBSD 6.2-beta2 (because of support for my pentium M). My disk looks as following: -ad0s1 = dell recovery-partition -ad0s2 = NTFS (windows xp) -ad0s3 = FreeBSD from fstab: +ad0s3b = swap +ad0s3a = / +ad0s3e = /tmp +ad0s3f = /usr +ad0s3d = /var How can i get this to work using ntloader ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That is very similar to what I am using right now on this computer and 3 others. What does your boot.ini look like. Kent My boot.ini looks like this: [boot loader] timeout=5 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS=Microsoft Windows XP Professinal /noexecute=optin /fastdetect c:\boot1=FreeBSD ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Could you have somehow copied it badly. I always have a machine running and did a binary ftp to the local machine and then renamed to to the *.bsd. Kent I don't see what could have gone wrong with the copying. I tried a couple of times.

I found a thread that may or may not be relevant - this message in particular: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2005-09/0177.html Start of thread: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2005-09/0079.html Thank you for that link, the problem described there is in a way similar to mine. Unfortunately the problem was fixed by updating the bios, and i already have the latest version (A04) for my laptop (Dell Precision M70). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
