Your response is appreciated. > to get rid of the bootloader you can simply do: fdisk /mbr from within an DOS prompt to reclaim the space (I assume that you're running windows as the other OS) launch win98 in to DOS mode and delete the non DOS partition it will report, just go ahead with fdisk as normal to create the extended partition after that. Another solution is to run a thirdparty software such as Partition magic, this will allow you to extend any DOS partitions you already have instead of creating a new. //Joel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
