Hi,

I installed FreeBSD on my primary hard disk by partioning the disk by using fip utility. Now I have upgraded my machine with a new hard disk and would be installing FreeBSD on the new partition. My question is how do I reclaim the partition on my primary disk ( I want to use it for some Windows 95 files).

I tried using fdisk from dos prompt and deleted the partition allocated for BSD. But still, the disk space is not released from the BSD partition.

I would appreciate if some body can help out.

Thanks
Siva
