I installed the latest version of FBSD on partition 3. Partition 1 is a 10 G compressed partition with the Windows Vista Home system to install and backup. partition 2 is Windows after installation. I installed the boot0 manager. it worked for bsd but not vista and i had to reinstall windows. after I could not access fbsd other than by setting partition 3 active which again denied access to windows. fbsd is there and boots. How can I install a boot manager to be able to use both Vista and fbsd? John Beukema
