If the hard drive already has FreeBSD (or any unix for that matter) installed, you'll need to delete any existing "non-dos" partitions then run fdisk /mbr to rewrite the master boot record before attempting to install Windows. I don't use dual boot personally since hard drives are cheap, however there are a heap of people using the FreeBSD boot manager & only a few appear to have problems so I guess its a pretty good thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mansoor alam" <gul_khan_99@yahoo.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 3:58 PM Subject: Installation > Dear All ! > I want to installed dual operating system in my home > pc.Since freebsd is already install in it and I have > to install window 98 on it too but problem is that > when I boot the operating system with DOS bootable CD > and try to formate hard disk then formating process > terminated.when I run fdisk on this hard disk then > this utility is not worked as well. > Kindly tell me that how can I formate the hard disk or > partition the hardisk for windows operating system. > since I want to install windows 98 first and then > freebsd. > > mansoor > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
