I went into DOS's fdisk and got rid of drive E completely. Then I ran the FreeBSD installation again, and when i get to that FDISK screen there, it says: ----------- Disk name: wd2 Disk Geometry: 512 cyls/12 heads/32 sectors = 196608 sectors Offset Size End Name Ptype Desc Subtype Flags 0 32 31 - 6 unused 0 32 196192 196223 wd2s1 2 fat 6 196224 384 196607 - 6 unused 0 ------------ What do I do here exactly? What is the free space? You said to hit 'C', but with which one chosen? Please help if you can. Thank you.
