Feel free to give us a more detailed description of the problems you are having and we will certainly do our best to help you out! I'm sorry to hear that FreeBSD didn't fit your tastes. > Have tried to figure out how to unmount this hard drive so I > can reformat it back to the dos operating system...How do I remove this > Linux system in order for windows2000, which is on my primary drive, to > read this drive so I can format it...Please help! You shouldn't need to "remove" or "unmount" anything. You should just be able to take your Windows 2000 installation CD and start from scratch. You will need to use the Windows/DOS "fdisk" command to remove the existing "Unknown" partition that FreeBSD lives on and create a new FAT (or probably FAT32) partition for Windows to reside in. After that the (re)installation of Windows should occur normally.
