The problem is that after working for FreeBSD with the FAT32 partition for almost 2 months without problems (with multiple boots in win2k) everything was ok. But today after mounting the FAT32 to get something from there, the ls showed me between normal files some "weird-characters" files (those kind of files that tells you that the partition is messed up). I tried to boot win2k to make sure that its ok, but it couldnt boot. I encountered the same problem some time ago (with FreeBSD 4.4) but I thought it wasnt because of FreeBSD. Also, a friend of mine got his win2k partition messed up some time after installing FreeBSD, and mounting it, of course. Now, anyone encountered this problem? I've mounted the fat32 in the usual way: /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win msdos rw,noauto 0 0 ______________________________________________________________________ Do you want a free e-mail for life ?
