I decided to go with a shareware program called MasterBooter. It seems to have shrunk my 30gig hardrive so that I can fit freebsd and linus on 5gig each of it. However I ran into a new problem. This week I had to buy a new cdrom drive because mine died. I bought a 40x ide atapi and when I try to install freebsdn in my new partition, the cdrom device is not recognized. I had a 24x ide atapi device before and all I did was to simply repace the old cdrom with the new one. This is getting frustrating. This digital research technology cdrom is being recognized when I boot up the computer and windows has no problem with it. I set the jumper on the cdrom to the setting that the instuctions advised and again it was recognized by windows. Doesnt freebsd recognize all ide atapi cdroms? Any help here would be greatly appreciated:) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
