Check what BIOS thinks about the drive. If you haven't set the disk type to "AUTO" and used the disk detection tools of BIOS when you swapped disks and used the Windows disk, you'll have to rerun the BIOS disk detection tool after changing the disks again. > This is weird.

Windows shouldn't really be able to affect FreeBSD, if they're not running off the same disk :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
