Which means you have two 400MB logical drives in an extended partition. If this is the case then you won't be able to install FreeBSD, it must be in a primary partition (I take it you're not planning on overwriting Windows, even though it is a nice thought :-) ). > > What do I do from here to install freebsd? > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov _______________________________________________________________ Mark Ovens, CNC Apps Engineer, Radan Computational Ltd.
