I have tried repartioning (Reslicing; Sorry.) the drive w/FreeBSD and Also tried repartioning with FDISK (DOS) and retrying to install FreeBSD. The error message does not change. Further if I try to create a partion with FDisk my system hangs and has to be rebooted. Any help is more than I got going now..... Thanx
