(It is a nice freeware tool and you don't risk any damage to the part= ition table!) You can than create with Bootpart a 512 byte file that = contains an image of your freebsd boot sector. Bootpart will copie it= to c:\ (for example). It can even add the correct text string and re= ferences to your newly created (for example) freebsd.bin file in boot= .ini. good luck ---- Messages d=B4origine ---- De: Ion-Mihai Tetcu Date: jeudi, janvier 15, 2004 5:22 pm Objet: Re: dual-booting with xp > On Thu, 15 Jan 2004 11:15:02 -0500 > Duane Winner wrote: >=20 > > Hello, > >=20 > > I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.9 on a machine that already has = XP > > installed.
