You probably installed Win2k after FreeBSD so it overwrote the boot sector. You need to reinstall the boot manager. FreeBSD will auto add the Dos/Win partition. Make a repair disk for Win2k in advance you may need to repair it after FreeBSD. I take nothing for granted with Windows. -- Ted Sikora Jtl Development Group tsikora@powerusersbbs.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
