I have a 1.6 gig WD harddisk that has (had) Win3.1 and BSD 2.2.1-R. They were both about 800 megs. Without thinking, I upgraded the Win 3.1 to Win95. I also use BootManager from OS/2. When I re-booted for FBSD, it booted ok, then dropped me to a shell after doing the probes. It said to run FSCK manually. I found that I had lost all my different slices (usr/var/swap). I looked at the Fixit disk, but not knowing that much about commands, didn't know what to do. I did try the mount command, but nothing happened. Since then, I have read about installing 95 BEFORE installing FBSD. Can I get FBSD running again, or have I lost everything?? The worst is that I lose all my "helps" from this list. I have the 2.2.1-R CD and have most of it on my C drive (Win95), so I could re-install it ok, but hate losing all those files. Thanks, Mike me@corecom.net
