I wish to install FreeBSD on drive D. You cannot install FreeBSD 2.1.x on a logical drive or in an extended partition. You must install it in a primary partition. I am not sure about 2.2.1 but I would be greatly surprised if it can be installed in an extended partition. I am afraid you will have to backup and repartition your disk. -- Victor Sudakov http://www.tomsk.su/r/persons/vas.htm
