If you can help me please send your reply to: > > Dusty Schnabel > dustys@visto.com The most easiet way is to boot with a MSDOS Boot disk with a copy of FDISK.EXE on it and type the following at the command line: FDISK /MBR This will rewrite the Master Boot Record. Then run FDISK.EXE and make sure your Windows Partition is the ACTIVE one. (Should be easy to find under the menus). Reboot and you should find yourself back in Windows. Remember though that this will mean you will have to activate your FreeBSD partition to boot to it. (Ie: set it to the ACTIVE partition - once again under FDISK.EXE). --Snowy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
