I try to boot Bsd on my PC with DOS and Windows------------
on "disk partition editor" I got message :
disk name: wd1
      offset      size          end     name    ptype        desc.
subtype    
         0       1008         1007      -          6           unused
0           #1
     1008   1030176  1031183   wd1s1    1        extended         5
#2
 1031184     1008     1032192    -           6           unused         0
#3
  I think the #1 and #3 too small (since 1008x512 bites =512 KBytes< 20MB)?,
so 
I highlighted the #2, then I was told that this slice is in use and should be
deleted, if I do so I will lost files ( used in Windows) in this disk? what is
meant here the "deleted"-----the same as that in DOS?
  but the sizes of #1 and #3 kept the same after I deleted many DOS files from
the wd1 (it is the 2nd disk in my PC).
