I knew if I hung around long enough someone would finally ask something which I might attempt to do a partial reply! >Here's my problem. I have 1 physical IDE drive partitioned into 4 FAT32 logical drives, >C D E and F. If I have Win98 on C, FreeBSD on D and data on E and F, can i: > >a) install FreeBSD on D without losing or converting ANY data on the other drives? What do you want, blood? There are no guarantees. Before you try to do anything like that back up everything. You should not lose anything but funny things can happen. >b) Use FreeBSD with a FAT32 drive? I don't think so. I believe you can read other FAT32 drives but you cannot install it on a FAT32 disk. The freebsb-questions will give a more comprehensive reply. >c) Dual Boot Win98 and FreeBSD? If so, how? Yes. A dual boot is part of the set up options. Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
