Greetings List: After trying to install 5.1-RELEASE from CD (which fails miserably during the BTX stage), my hard drive stopped booting. When the BIOS reaches my hard-drive while scanning for bootable devices, it displays the message "Boot Error". I then inserted a Windows ME CD and selected "Boot From HD". This booted into System Commander (which is what used to happen automatically). System Commander detects no errors in the partitions on the hard-drive, and obviously the MBR is in place (or else SC would not have loaded). Any ideas on what I fried and how I can fix it? Is there a way to get FreeBSD to fix the boot sector on my HDD? Thanks, James
