Must I fillin the disk geometry with those numbers I believe so. The space for freebsd that I want use is 2000MB or even more Is that a critical value I put then a minimum installaton on the freebsd partition. In the remaining part off 6.4GB I use fdisk (dos) and make there a = primary C drive. I format it and make him bootable but the bootmanager don't see the = bootable windows drive C. In a earlier e-mail about this problem talks about the first 1024 = cilinders where I have to install freebsd can you explain to me what = this means. What do I wrong or is it not possible to install freebsd and windows on = one drive.
