Sorry I didn't mention I'm already using 4.1. I've actually just done an 'fdisk /mbr' from dos to clear my boot sector. I then set my FreeBSD partition to be bootable. It says 'missing operating system' when I try and boot from this partition though. Surely I don't have to re-install? --- "Andresen,Jason R." <jandrese@mitre.org> wrote: > Paul Jansen wrote: > > > > My boot loader no longer allows my to boot > FreeBSD.
