Message-ID: <20000128150245.A48685@luke.immure.com> Reply-To: Bob Willcox Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi All, I was hoping someone out there might have a quick answer (or even a suggestion) to a delema I am having. I installed FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE on my Dell Inspiron 7000 notebook as the first partition and I am now attempting to install Windows 98 2nd Edition on the same 8GB disk as the second partition (I have about split the partitions evenly at just under 4GB each). Problem is that after Windows setup dutifully formats the 2nd partition it then claims that the format had an error and is not compatible. I have done this a couple of times so I'm quite certain that unless I come up with some new approach there's no sense in trying it again. :-( I apologize for the slightly off-topic nature of this post, but I'm much more of a FreeBSD/Unix person than Windows (which I avoid when possible) so I naturally thought to ask here first (and I suspect that if it wern't for FreeBSD already being on the disk the W98 install would work).
