Microsoft OSes have to exist in the first slice (fdisk) on the disk. It can't handle things otherwise. That's what I guess your problem is. You'll need to move freebsd to the second, third or fourth slice and put NT on the first. And you don't have to worry about uninstalling it. Microsoft automatically, and without warning will delete your boot manager, when it installs one of it's OSes. Keep repeating to yourself, "Microsoft knows best." Someday, someone will believe it. -- An aad may have made this posting invalid To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
