Tried the automatic one and the command line recovery. Has anyone setup the FreeBSD loader to load Win2k before? --Brian -----Original Message----- From: Thanatos [mailto:thanatos@vcnet.com] Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 6:45 PM To: Brian McCann Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Bug or by design? HELP!?!? Hiya Brian First, to get your Win2K boot loader back, do this: ( Trying to remember how this goes ) 1. Boot off your Win2K disk. 2. Win2K then comes up and asks if you want to install or "fix" 3. Choose to fix ( not the command-line thingy ) 4. Choose to have it "fix" automatically I had this problem about a year ago and this solved the issue. The Win boot loader was back. Ofcourse, you wont be able to boot into BSD. Second, to get a boot loader to load both BSD and Win2k ( I have this set up .. except I have a 98SE partition ) During the install, if you tell it to make a boot loader, it will automatically include any other bootable partitions. At this point, you can boot off the BSD install cd and have it remake the boot loader for .. but I don't remember how to specifically do this .. check the handbook or the mailing list archives.
