Boot manager problems
Hello guys! I have 2 partitions on my hard drive (ad0) one with Windows XP, the other one with FreeBSD 5.0. Like usual I had problems with windows and I had to format the first partition and reinstall windows. But as you know the instalation deleted the FreeBSD boot manager. I rebooted with a FreeBSD cd and typed fdisk -b /boot/boot0 ad0 which indeed brought the boot manager back but even now when I press F2 ( the key assigned to FreeBSD) it beeps instead of booting the system. Is there a problem with the disk geometry ? Because if it is then I'm pretty helpless,I am a newbie regarding this OS. Can I recover my data or do I have to delete the whole FreeBSD partition and reinstall the OS ? - Do you Yahoo!? vote.yahoo.com - Register online to vote today! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Boot manager problems
I have 2 partitions on my hard drive ( ad0 ), one with Windows XP, one with FreeBSD 5.0. Like usually I had problems with windows and I had to format the first partition (ad0s1) and reinstall it, but as you know it deleted the FreeBSD boot manager. I booted with a CD and tryed fdisk /b /boot/boot0 ad0 which indeed brought back the boot manager but even now I can't enter FreeBSD because when I press F2 it beeps instead of booting. Is there a problem with the disk geometry? If yes ... I'm pretty helpless because I can say that I'm a newbie regarding this OS. Can I recover my FreeBSD partition or do I have to delete it and reinstall the OS again? - Do you Yahoo!? vote.yahoo.com - Register online to vote today! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
