Unfortunately I need software translation for my bigger HDD and this means using MicroHouse's EZ-DRIVE in conjunction with DOS. After searching previous questions I found a few that mentioned the need to remove EZ-DRIVE's control when installing FreeBSD from a DOS partition otherwise FreeBSD won't be able to recognise a primary DOS partiton. This worked well, until i went to reboot FreeBSD in which case im confronted with the BootEasy prompt: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD I didnt expect to be able to boot DOS from here without EZ-DRIVE but when I try to boot FreeBSD I just get a flashing cusor.. Any suggestions as to what could of gone wrong here? And after I can boot FreeBSD how will I go about booting DOS? (I was thinking along the lines of just booting FreeBSD from a floppy everytime and letting EZ-DRIVE have control otherwise..) Just for the record im running a 4.3 GB Maxtor IDE HDD using EZ-DRIVE v9.06.
